Is the Jonsbo CR-1400 ARGB too small for Lost Ark raids?
During massive raids, my frame rate would dive from 100 FPS to 40 FPS. Honestly, it was almost exciting to see just how hard I could push this tiny cooler. Because the Jonsbo CR-1400 ARGB has such a small fin stack, core temps were skyrocketing to 88°C - 94°C, forcing the CPU into severe thermal throttling. I tried the 'rational' approach of enabling Windows Power Saver, but that just killed my FPS further without fixing the heat. I decided to go nuclear and swapped to a top-tier liquid metal paste, then set the fan curve to hit 2000 RPM the moment it touched 70°C. Monitoring again, the peaks were suppressed to 78°C - 83°C, and the frequency of drops plummeted. I had a bit of a struggle with the liquid metal at first—it wasn't spread evenly, and one core stayed hot—but after a second application, it finally leveled out. Full load temps are now around 81°C. I switched the cooling mode in the software, and the CPU is now staying consistently between 78°C - 83°C.
