In this image http://imgur.com/a/OVNFC I'm running Prime95 and my CPU is dropping to ~1.4GHz every 10 seconds or so when [Temperature #2] on Open Hardware Monitor spikes to 100+ degrees. The CPU VCore also drops to 0.9 volts.
Is this a VRM issue and is there any way to fix it without getting a new motherboard?
I have reset my BIOS, have an aftermarket cooler etc.
I noticed this problem starting around the same time that my CPU stopped responding to changes in Power Options in Control Panel.
