This increase in heat can occur due to a variety of reasons. The main cause of thermal throttling of CPU is the excess heat that is generated. It can also occur in the GPU and is called GPU Throttling. Thermal throttling is not just limited to the CPU. Your computer becomes really slow and sluggish. This throttling is visible by the sudden drop in FPS during gaming or frequent lags and distortions in visual quality during 3D rendering. When Thermal Throttling of CPU occurs then CPU performance decreases. The critical temperature of a Processor varies with the manufacturer and specific model. This decreases CPU usage and it stays like that until the temperature comes to normal. When the temperature of the CPU passes a critical temperature of around 80 degrees Celsius or 176 degrees Fahrenheit then the CPU detects an increase in temperature and the performance of the CPU is immediately reduced.
