Bypassing the CPU Power Wall
The visuals were stunning, but the power draw was terrifying, hitting 280W per HWInfo64 and causing my CPU frequency to oscillate wildly between 4.2 and 5.6GHz. I tried limiting power via software, but rendering times increased by 30%, which was unacceptable. I then used the GamePP BIOS Load-Line Voltage Guide to set Load-Line to L2 mode and tuned the VCC core voltage to 1.32V. Cinebench tests showed a rock-solid multi-core frequency of 5.4GHz, while AIDA64 confirmed temperatures stayed within 82-86℃.
