Ryzen 5 3400G Cooled very well but it's thermal throttling for some reason

Hello,

As the title said, my APU throttles for no apparent reason.

I'm experiencing a short fps drop for about 10 seconds and it goes as low as 5fps. This is happening only in 2 games so far (Enlisted and Wreckfest), but others run fine. I'm using 1080p resolution and lowest settings for Enlisted and it runs fine until it starts to throttle.

I had HWiNFO64 running in a background while i was playing and when i opened it this is what i saw:

As you can see, temperatures are not high at all so i don't see why or how this is possible.

The rest of the specs:

Mobo: MSI B450M PRO-M2

Ram: Crucial Ballistix Sport 16GB(2x8) @3200mHz

Cpu cooler: Cooler Master MA410P

PSU: 750W

OS: WIN10

I'm sure i forgot something so if you have any questions feel free to ask.

Thanks

Well i guess it's a problem with cheap motherboard then and it's vrm isn't good enough to deliver enough power to the APU. I'm going to mark this as a solution (Buy a better motherboard with more power delivery phases and a good vrm cooling) and end this topic. Thanks to everyone who took their time to reply and try to help.
