The CPU frequently reaches its maximum capacity after being overclocked!
The issue occurs when the GPU is fully utilized in games, causing a significant drop in CPU usage. This only happens during overclocking; otherwise, running the CPU at normal speeds doesn't trigger the same problem. What's happening?
What kind of motherboard? Certain boards might have weak VRMs, and their cooling might fail to handle high loads, causing the CPU speed to drop to prevent damage. You won't find any temperature data for the VRMs. This issue typically arises during overclocking when the VRMs are under maximum stress.
Overclocking and CPU usage aren't directly linked, but what matters most is your throttling and overclocking.
Under normal conditions without overclocking, the CPU stays under 80°C and processes data smoothly.
When overclocked, the temperature rises significantly—often above 80-90°C—and the CPU slows down to prevent overheating before it fails.
Check HWINFO, run your game, and observe if the entire CPU is overclocked or just one core.
What temperatures do you experience?
I own an aftermarket cooler with good thermal paste, and during the AIDA64 CPU stress test at 4.4 GHz I reached 61°C. That suggests the actual temperatures might be lower than reported.
The Paladin:
cheers... I hope someone can do better than me.
Thanks for the work!
I wish someone understands what's going on.

Sizzling:
Some motherboards might not have sufficient VRM cooling, causing them to overheat when under load. The CPU speed then drops to prevent damage to the VRMs. You won't find a temperature reading for the VRMs themselves. This issue typically happens during overclocking, which puts the most strain on the VRMs. It seems the lowest-end chipset (A55) is the one that causes problems here. I wasn’t sure, so I asked for advice. Thank you!
