NH-D14 Stealth Mode Tuning
The Noctua NH-D14 fan noise was shattering the stealth tension in MGS Delta. I switched to silent mode, but CPU temps spiked above 90°C per AIDA64, causing lag. I used GamePP Fan Curve Config to set a smart curve: 500 RPM below 50°C and 1200 RPM above 70°C, with 3°C steps. A decibel meter confirmed noise dropped to 32 dB, while AIDA64 showed temps staying under 75°C. This balance finally lets me switch between performance and silence without breaking immersion or hitting thermal limits.
