So let's get right to the issue. I start up my computer, load windows - everything is fine and smooth. Doesn't matter what I play, it could be Skyrim or Minecraft. The game runs fine for around 10 minutes with proper FPS. Then it suddenly drops to 1 - 20 FPS and stays there for the entirety of my gameplay. I quit the game and whole computer is laggy for certain period of time (until it cools I suppose).
In summer FPS drops much sooner. I played in winter, it was cold outside and my FPS dropped. So what I did is I opend the window to let the cold air into my room and the computer was fine the entire time. So from this information I assumed I have cooling issues but CPU temperatue stays below 50°C as well as GPU. And I even swapped fan CPU cooler for a water one - didn't work.
I don't have means to try and swap out all components one by one to detect the bad one.
Ask me anything and thank you for your answers.
