the cpu and gpu are operating at around 10-15 degrees celsius instead of normal, but my frame rate drops especially during heavy cpu tasks or games. the clock speeds remain consistent as before, so i’m unsure what’s causing the problem. my system isn’t just failing—my hardware seems fine. i have an i5 4690k @4.5ghz, rx 570 with 4gb ram, 16gb ddr3 1866.

I explain how I assess these details. It seems there might be a discrepancy between reported speeds and actual performance. CPUs often reduce their clock rates when not busy, which can affect stability. Have you restarted your system? Checking for lower frame rates across different games could help identify the issue. Also, recent game updates might have influenced this behavior.

Verify your power management configurations in Windows. It's possible the recent update altered settings and is affecting performance.

Great suggestion. Or perhaps the operator unintentionally changed the power profile, though that’s less probable for a desktop setup.
