Cooler Master B360 overheating in Red Dead Redemption 2?
Riding through the snowy peaks, my core temps would suddenly jump 20℃ in about 3 seconds—it was honestly exhilarating to troubleshoot. The Cooler Master MasterLiquid B360 had some air bubbles trapped in the radiator, which caused the flow to cut out at certain angles, making temps bounce between 85-95℃. I tried cranking the rad fans to 2000 RPM, but while the fins felt cool, the core was still spiking—it was a surface-level fix that did nothing. I tilted the entire chassis 45 degrees while running a full load stress test, using physical vibration to force the bubbles up into the pump head, and switched the fans to a high static pressure mode. My monitor showed temps crash from 95℃ down to a stable 68-74℃. I actually failed the first few tilts because the angle wasn't steep enough, and bubbles stayed at the bottom; it took three different directions to fully clear it. Liquid temps are now 30-34℃ and the game is smooth as silk. Fans are now steady at 1400-1600 RPM.
