How to stop CPU throttling on an RT500 Digital in Far Cry 6?
Seeing my CPU lock in at 4.6GHz without a single dip is a huge relief. The PCcooler RT500 Digital is a compact unit, and under heavy load, the default slow fan speed lets heat build up at the base, pushing temps to 96℃ and tanking the clocks. I tried the 'Ultimate Performance' power plan first, but it just increased the heat and made the throttling worse—a total failure of a strategy. I headed into the BIOS, switched to an aggressive fan curve that hits 85% speed at 60℃, and flashed the latest motherboard microcode. AIDA64 showed max temps drop from 96℃ to 78-82℃, and the frequency swing narrowed from a wild 2.2-4.6GHz to a stable 4.3-4.6GHz. I had to deal with the fans pulsing during low loads until I configured a 5℃ temperature hysteresis. CPU temps now hover at 76℃. Verified the frequency sync via the performance panel.
