Possible VRM throttling. If that's the case, it means that you're reaching the thermal limits of your cooling for your motherboard. Do the VRMs on your motherboard have heatsinks or a fan blowing over them? It's not a "terrible, ohnoes!" thing, it just means that under prolonged heavy load, your PC will eventually throttle slightly to stay stable. As long as the core isn't failing (Prime says that it failed and the worker thread stopped), you're ok.
