Should I manually lock the pump speed on Valkyrie V360?
Watching the effects explode on screen is great, but the frame stability was a mess. The Valkyrie V360 Dracula's 'smart' pump strategy is way too slow to react to burst loads, causing my CPU to spike from 60℃ to 92℃ in a single second, which triggers an immediate clock drop. I tried the 'Silent' mode in the software, but that just led to a thermal shutdown—a total fail. I went straight into the BIOS and locked the pump speed at 100% full blast, and set the radiator fans to hit 80% once the CPU touches 60℃. In AIDA64 stress tests, the core temp dropped from 90℃ to a steady 68-74℃, and my 1% lows jumped from 25 FPS to 52 FPS. I did notice a slight humming resonance after locking the pump, but swapping the radiator screws fixed the vibration. Water temps are now a steady 32-38℃. The thermal response time is night and day compared to before. Cooling mode switch successful.
