How to stop CPU boost clock drops in Elden Ring?
Exploring the Lands Between is a blast until a big boss fight hits and the frames just dive. The AK620 ARGB was struggling with sustained loads, pushing core temps over 90℃ and triggering aggressive clock throttling, which dropped me from 60 FPS down to 42. I tried leaving the side panel open, but that just invited a mountain of dust and barely moved the needle on performance. I eventually overhauled the case to a 3-in 1-out positive pressure setup and applied a -0.05V offset in the BIOS. The stuttering during boss fights is way less noticeable now, and I'm holding 58-60 FPS. I actually crashed during a save load when I first tried the undervolt, so I had to bump it back to -0.03V for stability. Temps are now sitting comfortably between 78-84℃. Stress test curves confirm the performance is back to where it should be.
