[SOLVED] Troubles with processor decreasing my fps to 10 suddlently

I'm experiencing some troubles with my FX-8350. I know it's an old processor but these days it lost lots of performance.
I was able to run lots of games with it at 60 fps, however it started to suddently reach 100% usage and drop my frames to 10.

My cpu temperature oscillates between 30ºC and 50ºC but when my frames drop from 80 to 10 the cpu usage goes from 70-80 to 100 and the temperature falls to less than 30ºC. This framerate drops are present even in old games like bf4 that i was able to run at 100+ fps, with minimum fps of 50 and nowadays it reachs 20 fps almost everytime.

Does some have any idea about it?

My config:
Grafic Card - Geforce GTX1060 6G
Processor - AMD FX-8350 4,0GHz Base Clock
Motherboard - m5a78l-m plus/usb3
RAM - 16GB - DDR3 1333MGz 2x4 - 1x8 (I know im missing ram performance
Power Supply - Corsair CX750W
Water Cooler CoolerMaster Masterliquid Lite 120 - MLW-D12M-A20PW-R1
 
Solution
Based on what you've provided so far, there could be any number of things:
-Motherboard VRMs thermal throttling, compounded by the FX-8350 - which that mobo wasn't physically designed to handle - and the 120mm CLC.
-If I recall correctly, Flex Mode wasn't a thing in a board that old, so you're actually running in single channel mode, not dual, which isn't helping things here.
-120mm CLC's pump is dead or clogged.
2 out of 3 point to some kind of thermal throttling, but as I posted, there could be other things going on - this is just what I've inferred from the provided info.

Also, you're not using the correct application to read the cpu's thermals. Use AMD Overdrive: https://www.techspot.com/downloads/4645-amd-overdrive.html

The cpu thermals should be read for 'distance to TJ Max', and not the present. FX-8350 has a thermal margin of 61C, so when you use Overdrive, the readings will count DOWN from that number as the cpu warms up.
Single digits, 0, and negative numbers are bad.
