Hello, these last few days I have been suffering some weird problems that no one seems to find an answer to.
First of all, I'm sorry if my grammar or way of speaking is not totally right but I'm not a native English speaker, but I'll try my best.
Lately I've been experiencing FPS drops (specifically in Overwatch). I wouldn't be worried if it was a 10 or 20 fps drop but I'm talking about a massive drop from 120-80 fps to 30 or 40 along with a temperature drop from 72ºC to 69 or 68ºC. The thing is, this issue started like three days ago (They didn't patch the game the moment I started to experience this issue). I have updated my drivers and everything on this PC is practically new since it's only one month old. I tested some games that are graphically heavy like Tomb Raider (2013) and havent found any issue, but I can't say for sure since I haven't played it too long. Also, the issue seems to appear over time, the more I play the more frequently it occurs.
I was able to play fine with 72-70ºC and it never got higher than that, I also got very occasional FPS drops from time to time but nothing to worry about, like 10 fps or so.
The thing is, it basically feels like the PC is "saying" that the temperature is too high and tries to cool the PC or something.
In case you need my specs and the temperatures of each component on idle state:
Using Windows 10
AMD Ati Radeon R9 380 4GB
8GB Ram
MSI 970 Gaming (ms-7693)
AMD FX 8350 Black Edition

I hope I have explained myself correctly. I'd be very grateful if you could help me, since I spent a lot of money on this PC and I don't know if it's already failing or what.
Also, if I made any mistake on the post or I'm missing some information or the picture I uploaded isn't correct, I beg you to excuse me and tell me to fix it.
Thanks.
EDIT: As you asked of me I tried MSI Afterburner and I tried to capture the moment I got the fps and temperature drop.

The moment where the GPU Charge drops is where everyone else drops.
However, I've been testing the game I had more problems with (Overwatch) with a setting of Afterburner activated that could get the fans to run faster, and I got to play the game with an stable 68ºC. I thought I wouldn't have the drop problem anymore, but although the maximum temperature I got with that option enabled was 70º, the game still dropped both on temperature on FPS.
So... Is it the game fault, could it be that the option to turn the fans faster doesnt affect at all the throttling aspect or what?
