Can voltage offsets fix thermal throttling on Maxsun B850ITX?
During big screen-filling attacks, my FPS would plummet from 120 to 55, and that stutter made the combat feel completely clunky. I saw the CPU clock jumping between 4.2-4.8GHz, which created some nasty frame-time inconsistency. I tried capping the max power in software, but losing 15 FPS just to lower temps felt like a defeat, so I decided to go for an undervolt. I went into the BIOS and set a core voltage offset of -0.075V, then added a 12cm exhaust fan to the top of my ITX case. RTSS showed frame times tighten from 16-22ms to a smooth 12-15ms. I actually pushed it to -0.1V at first, but the system black-screened instantly on boot, so I backed it off to -0.075V. CPU temps now sit at 72-78℃ without throttling. Comparing the frame curves, it's way more consistent now, though the memory still runs a bit warm at 58-63℃.
