Yeah thats a classic case of thermal throttling im afraid. when a cpu gets hot it will begin to thermal throttle (bring down the clock speed to bring the temperature down) the temperature which throttling usually begins is around 85c. The reason it resets after you close the game is that the cpu will instantly lose its load, therefor temperatures will drop rapidly. and the clock speed can go back up
