CPU on its way out?

[Knave]

My current i5-2200K I know is old but has been perfect for me with any game I throw as it running will up until recently when The Division was causing me game slowdowns with CPU despikes (speed lowering) on the task manager monitor.

So I did some testing with Prime95 and OCCT and noticed the same CPU despikes on the monitor that starts to happen after a few minutes of it being at 100%.

I have not noticed it on other games or processes that has been CPU intestive recently.

are your temps ok? if not re-do the thermal paste on CPU.. it woulndt hurt to do anyway.. when was the last time you renewed the paste?

doublecheck for fluff and crap if your aircooling

Temps are good as always. Just done a complete PC clean out and not much if any dust/fluff around the socket. Paste was only put not to long ago but redone it anyway with bit or artic silver I had left.

Just tested CPU again and this is the usage after 3mins of Prime95.
