I've noticed something strange with my CPU. Overnight, the cooling seemed to improve dramatically for no clear reason—I haven't changed anything, and the room temperature is the same. Previously, my CPU idled at around 55°C, but now it's idling at about 48°C. However, when I ran TimeSpy in 3DMark, the CPU performance was worse compared to before. I'm concerned this might be linked to a short power outage we had at home a few days ago, which makes me wonder if my CPU got damaged somehow.

That power outage could definitely have affected your CPU. If you're worried it’s damaged, check if it's still returnable! But keep in mind that sometimes, power outages can mess with the BIOS settings. A BIOS reset and some tweaking might help your performance returning to normal.
