[SOLVED] (method at the bottom) 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
So, i've had this problem for a few months now, and i was thinking maybe it'll go away on it's own after few updates, but no such luck.
So here's the problem - I'm playing games anything from HL-Alyx to Subnautica to GettingOverIt, and the game will run smoothly for the first 10 minutes or so.... then it start randomly droping FPS from like 45 - 60 all the way down to 4-5 , for few seconds, then it goes back up to 45-60 frames, then back down, then back up etc.
This has made most games unplayable and it's frustrating as hell. I've checked the task manager and everytime the FPS drops, the graphics card 3D clock goes spikes from 30%-60% to 99%-100% then it goes back down, and the games plays as normal.
This happens constantly, after the first 10 minutes, the problem starts and does not really goes away until i exit the game. I have no idea what this could be, i've tries reinstalling the games and the drivers and C++, i've tried restoring the setting on Nvidia control panel, i've tried lowering in game graphics, i've tried cleaning my PC with activated ACS, scaning the computer for miners, updating drivers, nothing has worked to far.
Can anyone please help me, it's getting so that i can't play any game for more than 15 minutes.
PLEASE HELP.
p.s. I have notices for some reason, on AC-Origins (max graphics) the FPS can sometimes remain firm at 40-45, with only sometimes droping FPS to 20-25 for few seconds.
p.p.s - I've though it might be a cooling problem, but it makes no sense the way it goes up and down, or maybe the power supply is strong enough. idk what to do.

[HOW TO SOLVE]:
Basically, from what i understand it was thermal throttling, which means it was runing to hot to and was droping performance to cool down. This was solved by the advice of Jay_dog, by cleaning the fan parts, and replacing the thermal paste which was dry and smeared all over.
[Some advice]:
Noctua NT-H2 is a wonderful thermal paste i saw 15-20 degrees (Celsius) of difference, in both my CPU and GPU, all games working flawlesly now and with much MUCH higher framerates. (from 25 fps -> 55 fps)
Noctua NT-H2 comes with alcohol dabed hankies, don't waste them on cleaning the old paste you will need them later. Clean the previous paste with a soft cloth, with gentle and soft movements (don't use anything metalic or conductive)
I found my Asus TUF Gaming laptop fairly easy to open up, all the screws are in the open (no taking out the ruber bits to expose more screws) you don't need to unscrew your motherboard completely to replace thermal paste, although i did to clean everywhere.
Make sure to take out the internal battery, unplug the power supply and hold the power button pressed 5-10 seconds to completely discarge the capacitors on your motherboard, you don't want to fry anything on the mother board.
Try to 'ground' yourself in some way, i wetted my bare feet and keept them firmly on the ground. Although there are some devices that plug into the wall, that can ground you. This is important and it's done so that the static electricity on your body does not discharge in the motherboard.
Other than that, try to have a black page near by and outline the laptop and place each screw from the position you've unscrewed it from / or write nect to it/them what is was screwed in, just so you don't screw anything in the wrong place and need to open her up again, and forget to screw an important bit.
One last thing - After the process was done, when i turned on then off for a good 6-7 times before it turned on for good. (I think this has something to do with the RAM) But it's very much OK now.
That's it... hope this helped.
