How about any case fans? 4) are you using sensors? are they configured properly so you can actually get good readings from them? what temp is that thing running at? what temp does the bios say? (reboot -- enter bios and look at it). 5) etc etc etc sorry to go over all the basics, but if this is a new problem on a machine that has not had problems before, then these simple things will likely lead you to a solution. Messing around with cpu throttling is only a bandaid for an otherwise simple problem like dirty heatsinks and failing fans... A
