I already have one. Although I don't really think it has such a big effect.

The temps have never gone over the 80 by the way. Their max seems to be at about 75C.

they can be quite noticeable, so long as they're positioned properly and have enough power for the fans. my old laptop would overheat to the point of shutting down within the span of half an hour to an hour if i forgot my cooling pad (or accidentally unplugged it).

The occasional drops are back. Less severe, but there nonetheless. No anomalies in the temps though D:

The only thing I can think of besides temperature is overclocking. Consider looking into that a bit.

Unless its a driver issue or some background processes temps are about the only thing.What could be the problem except for temps?
Is your HDD nearly full (like, < 1 gig free)? I'm not entirely sure why but you can get FPS spikes in WoW if it is. (not sure if its a wow specific software thing or there's some logical reason behind that)

Can you run a furmark benchmark? (be careful about which download link you click, the page has the advertisement download link shit)My HDD has over 700GB free I believe.
Let it run @native resolution for 4 minutes and post the temp. (max & current at 4 min mark)
