Why is my Jonsbo CR-1400E ARGB causing thermal soak in MGS Delta?
About three hours into a stealth op, the CPU temps started creeping up, and my clock speed silently dipped from 4.5GHz to 3.8GHz, making the controls feel sluggish. The small fins on the Jonsbo CR-1400E ARGB just hit thermal saturation during sustained loads, with core temps sticking between 85-90℃. I tried enabling an aggressive boost mode in the BIOS, but that just pushed temps past 95℃ and caused a BSOD—which actually made me excited to try a full airflow rebuild. I swapped the front fans to intake and the rear to a high-pressure exhaust, then switched the cooler's fan curve to a linear growth model. AIDA64 showed temps dropping to 72-78℃, and frequency swings were reduced to under 100MHz. I noticed the case started collecting dust way faster after the change, so I had to install dust filters to keep it clean. Now the CPU stays high-clocked even at 80% load. Confirmed via the motherboard center that the mode switch worked, with temps holding at 72-78℃.
