Windows 10: Irratic performance

My son's PC with a AMD Phenom X4 9100e and 8GB RAM runs a bit slow. The OS is Win10 v1909. I checked it with Everest Ultimate and noticed that the multipliers are flicking between 9 and 4.5, i.e. halving, and the core temperatures were at 80 - 87°C on normal windows 10 desktop activity. No gaming taking place.

Can the fans just fail?
Is this a matter for cooling compound?
