Question i7 6700HQ speed going up and down.

[Doutor]

I've had this Omen laptop for 3 years now. It has a 1070 and a i7 6700HQ. I've always had problems with the CPU since it's really not that great, and if I knew I would have this many problems with it I would probably have bought a different laptop.

So, let's cut to the chase, lately I've noticed a lot of lag during my game time. I didn't know what it was at first, but after monotoring the CPU speed I noticed it was going from 3.10GHz to 1.2GHZ, then to 0,80Ghz, then back to 3.10Ghz, then down to 2ghz and so on and so on and so forth. At first I thought it was the game I was playing but after testing with multiple games, I can conclude it's a problem with the CPU and not the games themselves.

I've yet to see if it's because of temperatures. My powerplan is currently set to Max Performance.

One thing to notice is that I am using another charger as mine stopped working. I dont know if the problem is due to this new charger being from another HP model or not, because I used another one before this one and this didn't happen.

So my question is: Is there any way to fix it, or to see if it has anything to do with the charger?

Your CPU could be thermal throttling.

What's the wattage rating of the power brick you're using? What's the wattage of the original brick that shipped with your laptop?

Both bricks are 230W from what I could tell.
So if it is thermal throttling is there a way to fix it?
