Gigabyte gaming a16 cth brutal drop FPS.

Gigabyte Gaming A16 CTH [i7-13620H / RTX 5050]

Hey everyone, I've been dealing with a frustrating throttling issue on my Gigabyte Gaming A16 CTH and I've exhausted pretty much every software solution. Looking for advice.

The problem:

During gaming (Valorant, Overwatch), my CPU runs fine at ~55W with 300+ FPS. The moment it hits 95°C, the system instantly drops to 25W and FPS tanks to ~100. The drop is brutal and immediate.
