So recently I have noticed sudden, intense drops in FPS while playing games. I got curious and looked at my CPU temps and I noticed that it jumps to ~400F without a noticeable jump in load or a drop in fan/pump speed. I checked in the BIOS and I haven't seen this happen. Ive only observed it during game play, not during casual use. Could the Temps be false? if so what do I do about it? I use an AMD FX-4100 Quad Core Processor.

Install and start test OCCT:

Check temps:)


I use Core-Temp but I didn't think that my CPU would throttle because of a miss reading from the program.
