Frankly, this began when one of my wires was blocking my processor fan, it took a while to realize it and I was using my PC for couple of days with the fan being blocked.

At that time my core temperatures were 48-52 celcius and when it reached 52 the FPS and power usage drops began while playing games. After cooling itself down as much as possible then it started all over again and again.

Now, when the fan is rolling again, the temperatures are 36 celcius on idle and 44 under stress.

The FPS drops were supposed to end after discovering the issue with the blocked fan but now they started coming back, apparently when reaching 44 celcius.

Powers are constantly 104.50 W, on idle and stress, but when the drops begin, power drops to 46.00 W and framerate in games from about 60 to 5.

Why am I still having FPS drops, could it be that the processor fan broke down because of the wire? Some people have said that it's my powersupply instead of the possibly broken fan.
