How to optimize Valkyrie V360 cooling for Banishers?

While fighting ghosts in the woods, my CPU temp suddenly spiked to 88℃. That feeling of raw performance turned into pure overheating anxiety instantly. Looking back, the default pump curve on the Valkyrie V360 is way too conservative, running at only 60% power below 70℃, which just lets heat soak into the block. I tried cranking the fans to max via software, but while the radiator cooled down, the core temp stayed high—it was like fanning a feverish person without giving them medicine. I went into the BIOS and switched the pump header from 'Auto' to 'Full Speed' and optimized the front case intake. In HWInfo, the core temps plummeted from 85-92℃ down to 64-71℃, and the frame jitter totally disappeared. I did notice some slight resonance noise when I first maxed the pump, but flipping the radiator orientation fixed it. Water temps are now steady at 32-38℃ with fans at 1100 RPM. Thermal efficiency is up by 25%, though the pump hum is slightly more noticeable in quiet rooms.
