Clock speeds dropping to 1.5 ghz in cool environment while gaming
I play a lot of games on my Mac because its very powerful and can handle them I thought, but ever since I got in a couple of years ago I've gotten a significant amount of lag in games after a short period of time which gets really annoying, and the culprit is the clock speeds dropping while im gaming. Usually, my MacBook runs at the advertised 2.4 ghz when gaming but occasionally it goes down to 1.6 and 1.5 ghz for no reason, and you may be thinking its getting too hot but it is usually between 150 and 165 farenheit when gaming and under load, im really annoyed at this because its a very expensive and powerful machine, and instead of having a 8 core i9 CPU it feels like I have a dual core Celeron from 2006. And yes, I am aware you can get certain programs to set the clock speed on your Mac but I dont feel comfortable disabling the SIP nor do I feel like putting in the effort. Any fixes or help anyone is aware of?
MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 11.6
