So, last week this started happening when doing medium-heavy CPU intensive gaming sessions (ex. Mafia 3, Forza Horizon 4, etc)
Last weekend i switched cooler from a mid-end Raijintek Tower Cooler to a Cryorig R1 Universal (using Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut paste as well), and before the switch i've already tried OC'ing my 4790K (used ASUS' AI Suite 3 to OC but then adjusted the values according to what was safer and more heat friendly) but i wasn't happy with the temps (4.6Ghz @ 1.228V was around 65-75ºC) when playing the same games i referred to above with no drops in performance, clock speed or anything for that matter.
This started happening because i removed the CPU from the socket (to clean the paste residues) and it reverted to the Mobo's stock values. The problem is that i have no clue what setting enabled me to play without clock speed drops (both idle and gaming). I've tried disabling EIST (Intel's SpeedStep), C-States, SVID Control, EPU Power Saving, Power VR Efficiency settings but still seems to drop clock speed when gaming.
I'm getting desperate as i've got no clue what is happening or why it's even doing this.
Other Specs:
I appreciate the help in advance to everyone.

Other Specs:
- ASUS B85M G-PLUS 3.1USB (not proper for OC, but it works better than you'd think)
- 16GB HyperX Fury DDR3 @ 1600Mhz CL9
- EVGA RTX 2070 XC ULTRA GAMING 8GB
- NOX Urano TX850W Bronze 80+ PSU
