So I was playing overwatch today and I noticed something weird,I had some stuttering and fps drops even tho the game runs smoothly for hours without any problems,then when I opened my task manager I found that my CPU speed went down from 3 GHz to 0.66 and I saw that as the game was stuttering,the stutter lasted for 1-2 seconds and after that it went back to running normally,and this is the very first time I see the speed go down to 0.66.And the temps were pretty fine not surpassing 80-85

here is my rig:
CPU:i7-5500U
GPU:GTX 950m
RAM:8 GB
OS:Windows 10 64-bit

Before anyone says "laptops aren't meant for gaming" can I know what is the cause of that problem?

Another thing to note is that I've been having these stutters with other games too that I can run fine with my rig but they still stutter and get FPS drops.

The problem you are having is heat related. Your thermal thresh-hold at 85C is throttling the CPU.
Its also possible the GPU is contributing to the heat.
As it is a laptop the only thing you can do is change game settings to min or downclock the processor.

How are your temps, may be overheating a bit

MeanMachine41 :

The game settings are on medium and the game runs completely fine for 2-3 hours,and even when I put it to low the problem is still the same.

Tradesman1 :

I mentioned that my temps don't go above 80-85

Yes you did and it is way too high under load. Your CPU has built in safety to bring the frequency down when getting too hot. Constantly running at those temperatures will degrade your CPU.

MeanMachine41 :

Would getting a cooling pad help then?or is there any way to stop it from getting too hot other than lowering the in-game settings?

NanashiKukyo :

I believe they do to some degree and many types for sale. In the meantime lower the in-game settings and see if it helps but don't keep running at those temps if you want your CPU or indeed the laptop to last. Look here: http://www.toptenreviews.com/computers/peripherals/best-laptop-coolers/

NanashiKukyo :

Wanted to verify, and it's enough to throttle you CPU, might want to open up the case and get some compressed air and blow out the dust, could consider changing the thermal compound on the CPU...a cooling pad could help, where possible having a fan blow on the laptop itself can help, especially say during gaming as you'll prob be in one spot for awhile
