I figured it out. Turns out it was my CPU cooler. I upgraded my CPU years ago for a more powerful one but never changed the cooler. It wasn’t an issue for most games but CPU intensive ones like BF2042 and BF6 would cause the CPU to overheat and throttle. I never noticed it because it was just barely at the threshold. Swapped in a more powerful cooler and I haven’t had a single issue since.
