CPU slowing randomly....

Recently I've noticed while playing a certain game that my speed would go down from 1600Mhz to 1400Mhz on my i8600. I can understand when it slows down while nearly idle, but while playing a game it's pretty annoying... It will go back to 1600Mhz after about 30 seconds or so. At first I figured it was just overheating, but my temps never go past 62 while playing.... Anyone know what could cause this?

    is that 62C or 62F?

    I'm highly doubting that it's 62F and if it's 62C go to google.com and type Celsius to Fahrenheit converter and punch in 62C and see what it comes up as for F, I'm willing to bet it's 150F or better. If that's the case then it could very well be overheating.
