Should I adjust fan thresholds for AK620 ARGB in PUBG?
That feeling of freezing for 0.1 seconds in the final circle is just great—if you love losing. The DeepCool AK620 ARGB has a fan spin-up delay that lets the core temp rocket from 65℃ to 82℃ in a single second, which triggers the motherboard's protective throttling. I tried adding more case fans, but while the ambient temp dropped 2℃, the CPU spikes were still there. It was a waste of time; the problem was the heat transfer. I re-mounted the cooler with a more even pressure bracket and lowered the fan trigger threshold from 60℃ to 45℃. Real-time monitoring shows peaks are now capped at 72-78℃, and FPS stabilized from a 110-140 range to a solid 135-144. The fans were hunting for speed and sounding annoying at first, until I set a 5℃ hysteresis window. CPU power is now 95-110W and the fins stay at 45-52℃. Performance mode confirms the hitches are gone, with temps at 65-72℃.
