If that helps then you can try Process Lasso to automate this. Source: 6 months ago
CoreDirector is pretty straight forward and easy to use, but on my machine it caused micro-stutters even if I had higher frames. I used Process Lasso to do this, which should be the same thing CoreDirector does, but it worked better for me. Source: 6 months ago
If BES doesn't work for you, you can try Project Lasso for free: https://bitsum.com/. On this one, I've set the CPU Limiter to when the process reach 85% for 2 seconds, limit by 1 core for 1 second. You can also reduce the CPU affinity to one less core using the Windows Task Manager but this will impact the frame rate. Source: 8 months ago
I use process lasso to assign priority, cores, powerplans and 0.5ms timer resolution to processes to improve performance. (something to manage a process once run like powerplans). Source: 8 months ago
All right, here are two possible solutions I know of: Firstly you can limit the number of cores the game is using, which can increase your FPS significantly (and potentially fix the stutter as well). Why? Because Far Cry 3 and 4's optimalization on PC sucks ass, and the newer the PC setup, the more likely it will have problems with both games. How to set CPU affinity: 1. Open the game. 2. Once in-game, press... Source: 11 months ago
I use an app to check system temps: OpenHardwareMonitor. Some people like SpeedFan, does most of the same stuff. Source: over 1 year ago
That's not super common (but it does happen ofc). It might be worth running a tool to scan the drive and take a peek at the SMART data. I typically use Speedfan https://almico.com/speedfan.php. Source: over 1 year ago
You'll get better gpu support from Afterburner, but if you have a weird chipset or an incompatible fan controller, good old SpeedFan still has a few tricks. Source: almost 2 years ago

Speedfan Freeware gives you some info about your temps, but its mostly used to set up your custom fan control, such as increasing rpm of your front intake fans when temp of GPU and/or CPU reaches a certain point and much more, how much you can do with it depends on the fan controller chip that is used on your mainboard, so you mileage may vary.
