Hey,
Latest test shows that the game starts off at 60+ fps and after 3-5 minutes of sitting idle (not even fighting or doing anything) fps drops to 20 and below; the highest I noted at this stage was 16 fps and the lowest was 5 fps.
The Intel card is disabled according to the diag so shouldn't be an issue

See if this affects the actual time before performance drop occurs
Have a check all the system fans are working
Just because the temps reported appear ok doesn't always equate this still isn't heat related
Worth looking at in my opinion
