AMD FX-9590 FPS drops. Dropping from 4722 MHz to 1406 MHz.

[Ceepii]

So I just recently purchased new processor, motherboard and cooler.
Did a little bit of research on the fx-9590 but surely not enough, since the problems occured right after first launch.
The issue is fps drops every few (2-6) minutes. I had Openhardware Monitor open while playing Overwatch, and every time the FPS dropped, all of my cores dropped to 1406 MHz.
I've been looking through tens of posts regarding the same issue, telling me to disable cool and quiet etc. None of these being effective.
So far I have tried
- Disabling cool and quiet from bios
- Setting minimum processor state to 99 and 100
- Messing up with power management and high performance computing in bios

The weird thing (atleast I think) is that while im playing CSGO which is a CPU dependant game, im having perfectly fine and stable FPS even on a crowded server, but when im playing Overwatch, which requires more from GPU, im having these issues.

I am currently running out of options. I've been thinking about underclocking my processor which I would be perfectly fine with. I tried to change my processor to 4.6 ghz, which gave me a boot error or such. (I'm not really good with these things)

Specs:
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-990FX- Gaming
Processor: AMD FX-9590
Graphic card: Nvidia Geforce GTX 660
CPU cooler: Cooler Master Seidon 120V ver.2
Power Supply: Corsair CX 600W
RAM: Two of 4GB ddr3's, HyperX and Corsair
Case: Comrade midATX

Every bit of help is welcome, and I'll be glad to answer questions!

What are your temperatures when the drops happen? That 120mm cooler is likely not sufficient for that processor.

The CPU temp is sometimes only around 55-60, considering it should only cool down at 65-70 celsius(?)
Sometimes its around 65-70. I know its quite a lot, the guy in the shop i bought these from told me that they did testing with these and apparently it worked i believe. I would be fine if i could disable the cooldown system and let it heat over 65ish.

that's thermal throttling, either because the core is overheating, or the power system on the board.

Is there a way to disable this CPU drop? Im possibly looking for a way to bypass the cooldown system, sadly disabling cool n quiet didnt help at all.

It's a safety system. If you can you shouldn't.

What disable thermal throttling? If you even can that sounds like a good way to kill your cpu and/or motherboard, it throttles for a reason. That cpu is an unstable power sucking monstrosity that can be very hard to get stable, you wouldn't believe the amount of questions we get about problems with that cpu. What is your core voltage set to? TJ max for that cpu is 62c package temp, anything over that and I believe it will start throttling.

It does sound like thermal throttling and if that truly is the case my thoughts go to the VRM's or the AIO you have isn't up to the task.

I added a few fans and made sure my CPU cooler was attached correctly. Works like a charm.
