No it seems fine. How would I test for CPU throttling? That said, I do find 8GB RAM restrictive for the number of tabs/VM I have open and wish I had 16GB. Also, I think the SSD might be slowly dying because it's had many, many writes on it by now (reformats, VMs, videos, etc.) and sometimes Windows takes ages to open Explorer to show me my files.

Use https://www.hwinfo.com/ it will show you the CPU multiplier, if you experience throttling the multiplier will be low and never go up. Look at the following picture: http://cdn.ultrabookreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/hw...
