Why does my Noctua NH-D15S have temp spikes in Spider-Man?
That buttery smooth swinging feeling was getting ruined by random hitches. I checked the backend and saw my CPU temp jump from 60℃ to 84-88℃ in half a second, which instantly halved my clock speed. I had set a long fan start delay for silence, but that obsession with noise became a performance killer. I slashed the response time from 3 seconds to 0.5 seconds and bumped the max threshold to 1300-1500 RPM. Now, the peaks are capped at 73-77℃, and frame intervals dropped from 11.2-19.4ms to a tight 8.5-10.2ms. I tried adding more fans at first, but it just created a horrible harmonic resonance. After shifting the fan mount by 2mm, the buzzing finally stopped. This cooler is a beast, but it needs a snappy response to handle the bursts. Switched the motherboard profile to 'Performance,' and frame times are now rock steady at 8.5-10.2ms.
