Since drivers allow Windows to interact with hardware, I think this could theoretically be possible, but I'd also like to look at your motherboard and cooling system.
What is the make and model of your motherboard and power supply?
Are you using the stock Intel CPU cooler?
How many case fans do you have? Which are intake and which are exhaust?
Thanks for your interest in my post! Here are my full specs;
i7-6700 with Cooler Master Hyper 212x
MSI H170 Gaming M3
Zotac GTX 1070 mini
32GB Crucial Ballistix LT Sport DDR4 2400
Samsung 850 EVO SSD 250GB
WD Caviar Blue 2TB HDD
Seasonic M12 II 620W
All my fans are 120s, 2 in the front for intakes and 3 exhausts, 2 up top and 1 in the back. My temps are all normal. My CPU peaks at about 65 Celsius and rarely ever gets up to 70. My GPU peaks at about 72 and never reaches 80. I am pretty sure it isn't thermal throttling.
What else could it be? It's only the GPU driver that I changed back to the older version.
