How to play Gameloft games without lag and Disable CPU throtling without root on Lenovo K3 Note (k50t5/k50a40)

The Lenovo K3 Note is an amazing budget phablet that does pretty much everything right. But users complained that games lagged after playing for about 5-10 minutes in K3 Note whereas the Meizu M2 Note which has the same CPU as the Lenovo K3 Note handled all the games very smoothly.
So what do you think what might be the problem here?
Lenovo has enabled CPU throttling to prevent CPU temperatures from going above 50 degree celsius.
So, whenever you play game on K3 Note after a few minutes the CPU temp hits 50 degree celsius mark which activates the thermal throttling mechanism. When thermal throttling gets activated you can see a sudden frame drop while playing games like Asphalt 8 and Modern Combat 5.

Here I will show you how to disable thermal throttling in Lenovo K3 Note without rooting your phone!

PROCEDURE TO DISABLE CPU THROTTLING ON LENOVO K3 NOTE :

1. Flash TWRP recovery using SP Flash Tools by following tutorial from this link here : http://yoyovirus.blogspot.in/2015/08/how-to-flash-custom-recovery-to-lenovo.html
