    Hey man i remember reading somewhere about throttling issues i think they were fixed from the Bios update is urs updated drivers too? if they are i think there is a way to keep all your cores running like instead of a core sleeping when is not needed it stays on preventing this sticky road u talk about. If i find thread ill post it hope this helps.
