FRAMERATE LOW BF V

I've noticed when running dx12 that when the issue occurs active core count as recorded by IXTU goes from almost always staying pegged at 8 cores to suddenly dropping down to 6 then 4 going maybe as low as 2 then back to 6 again and then maybe back to 8 for a few seconds. Bottom line is active core count starts going all over the place and this seems to be what is causing the patternistic cpu spikes you see in game. It is not that the game is using 100% of the cpu it is that it is constantly losing and gaining cores causing the in game graph to give the impression that your cpu is being maxed out every couple of seconds. I've already tried disabling power limiting options and setting turbo boost from auto to enable which did seem to improve the game a bit, but this was more a result of the turbo boost feature on my msi board applying single core boost speeds to all my cpu cores resulting in a kind of unwanted OC that overrides the clock settings set in the bios. I ran with it like that for about 2 hrs in game not realizing the full extent of the changes, and when the issue returned I check hwmonitor and noticed the clock speed had changed. Temps had gotten higher but still short of 80c on everything exp for the video card which was pegged at 80c. hwmonitor also reported a max vcore hitting 1.39 at one point so I can say I'm not to thrilled with MSI at this point for not warning people about that turbo boost setting and for allowing auto vcore to push voltage that high. I can't imagine what would happen if their game boost setting was used as that supposedly clocks the cpu even higher. Anyway at this point I'm going to try setting the game cpu priory in task manager to high from avg, and if the issue still crops up I'll minimize the game and set it to use just 6 of the 8 cores to see if that stabilizes things. I think I'm also going to DL BF1 and check to see if DX12 is working ok there, unless someone can report here that is having this issue that it already does ok fine.
