I've been trying to figure out this past couple of days...why are my games running really well and 5 minutes into any match i get like 30max fps and won't rise up...

I played Apex... 250 fps and suddenly bam..30 fps and nothing I can do... Modern warfare same thing...180FPS Ultra and all of a sudden 20-30 fps...

I changed my GPU thinking it is throtteling ..so I went from a GTX 1070 to a RX 5700 XT ... also I just ordered a new pair of Corsair Vengeance RGP PRO 2x8GB Thinking it must be me <Mod Edit> settup of 2x4GB +1x8GB..

I swappend my PSU from a 650 cx650 to a Corsair RM850I I had laying around...

And finally I found what I think is the answer...(tho my new RAM did not come yet) One thing I always had in comon when this would happen I just noticed my CPU suddenly only runs at 0.52 GHz even after I exit said game..it would take another 2-3 minutes to start Running normal again..

My specs:
CPU - Ryzen 5 1600
Mobo - Asus B350 Plus
GPU - Powercolor Red Dragon Rx 5700 XT

Anybody have any ideea why that is happening or do I have to replace mobo and cpu as well..esentially replacing the whole damn PC
