well every CPU is adjusting the Boost clock ingame constantly anyway. So even if you dont decrease you clock by 100-200Mhz you should reach an average boost clock of 3.8 or 3.7 Ghz anyway.
Mine stays at full boost while gaming, that's how it should be. At idle or light loads it should fluctuate, yes, depending on what power plan you are running (or if you're overriding it with throttlestop). If you change the speedshift value by too much it will prevent the cpu from boosting up. If I play around with the speedshift value so it gets to the point where the clock fluctuates while gaming, temperatures will surely decrease, the same way as the performance, specially in games that are CPU intensive like AC:Origins. Literally like putting a brick under the accelerator pedal.
Higher clocks doesn't always means higher temperatures (unless we're talking about really old cpus). CPU load is what brings up the heat, and that's why you're bringing the temperature down by playing around with the speedshift value. You're effectively throttling the cpu.
Anyways, if the CPU is not hitting TjMax or throttling due to overheating, there's nothing to worry about. You sure can improve thermals to reduce fan noise, but running the cpu at 90C is not gonna hurt it.
