When gaming I get a ton of lag even though a very small portion of my resources gets utilized. I've narrowed it down to my CPU not behaving as it should. It gets extremely hot (80+ degrees). It's not a cooler issue, I have a well proven CPU fan that does the job (I mean, it gets super hot and blows air plenty). I think it's something else.
See the below picture. Bus speed: 133,6 MHz per core, isn't that pretty low? Is the rated bus speed (2405,2 MHz) how it should perform?
Can my CPU be... broken?
Edit: Also, it's not a graphics card issue. I have a 770 GTX and latest drivers.
1If your CPU is overheating the it's a cooling issue....your CPU is being throttled – Ramhound – 2015-01-06T21:37:10.187
Been troubleshooting this to much, overthinking it :P Yes it probobly is a cooling issue hmm... Will look into buying a new fan then. The clamps on my current one looks a bit "Springy", which is not nice. Might have worn down over time. Thanks for all the input and setting my brain straight. – Jack Pettersson – 2015-01-06T21:46:53.663

Maybe your CPU had a faulty IHS (the metal covering the top of your CPU that acts as the bridge between the face of the CPU and the thermal paste you will use between the IHS and your heatsink.
You can't really do anything about this except RMA unless your IHS isn't soldered and you actually want to attempt removing it.. dangerous. – CausingUnderflowsEverywhere – 2016-07-16T17:27:14.090
