Processor usage decreasing results in a significant decrease in frames per second.

Some time ago, I shared a similar issue with Far Cry 5, where my frames would sporadically decrease to a low level. I was unable to resolve this problem effectively, so I continued playing the game as it was. Recently, while revisiting CoD:WWII and Rainbow Six, I’ve experienced the same recurring issue. My system appears to be functioning properly until my central processing unit reaches 100% load, at which point significant frame rate reductions occur. I’m curious about potential causes for this CPU behavior, or if it is indeed the source of the problem. My hardware specifications are: Intel 4670k, EVGA GTX 980, and MSI Z87.
The central processing unit is probably not defective.
Begin by opening task manager or performance monitor.
During the issue, are there any other activities occurring?
Examine your Windows power settings.
Have you chosen the high performance setting? Not balanced mode.
Within the advanced power options,
Is your processor’s performance level at 100%?
Does the maximum Hertz rate match or exceed your overclocked speed?
And, have you adjusted your processor’s clock speed?
Is there a BIOS update available for your motherboard?
Should a central processing unit recognize an unsafe temperature, it will decrease its clock speed or completely cease operation.
This typically occurs at approximately 100 degrees Celsius.
I could examine your cooling arrangement.
I anticipate any heatsink to demonstrate a temperature increase of 10-15 degrees Celsius above the surrounding environment when inactive as a baseline.
There might be a sluggish performance issue related to texture loading or another technical problem. Should I reorganize the settings? Would installing games on a solid-state drive help? However, World War II and Rainbow Six Siege both require approximately 90 gigabytes each.
The processor will lower its speed or completely cease operation if it senses a hazardous temperature, typically around 100 degrees Celsius. I’d like to examine your cooling system. Generally, a cooler should exhibit a temperature increase of 10-15 degrees Fahrenheit above room temperature when inactive. Evan1715 suggested that sluggish texture loading or a similar issue could be the cause, recommending a file system reorganization and installing games on a solid-state drive. However, since reinstalling Windows didn’t resolve the problem, it seems there might be an underlying issue with your central processing unit.

Examine your Windows power settings.

Within the Advanced Power Options:
Is your processor performance configured at 100%?
Does the maximum Hertz rate match or exceed your overclocked speed?
Furthermore, have you modified the BIOS on your motherboard?

The central processing unit is probably not the source of the issue. Launch Task Manager or Performance Monitor to investigate further. During the problem’s occurrence, are there any other activities taking place? Examine your Windows power settings. Have you chosen the “High Performance” setting? Not “Balanced.” Within the advanced power options, is your processor’s performance set to 100%? Is the maximum Hertz rate equal or greater than your overclocked speed? Speaking of which, have you overclocked your processor? Is there a BIOS update available for your motherboard? I’ve recently adjusted the power option to “High Performance” and attempted to update my BIOS, but it consistently froze each time. No, I haven’t overclocked the CPU; I tried, but it required excessive cooling and resulted in excessively loud fans.
Please don't dredge up ancient threads.
Especially with what can be considered, at best, junk science.
