Why does my Huntkey Blizzard T600 Typhoon crash in Cities?
When pushing high-fidelity MODs to the absolute limit, my CPU and GPU transient power spikes hit 680W within 0.1ms, causing the 12V rail on the Huntkey Blizzard T600 Typhoon to dip by 115-130mV. This instantly tripped the OCP and forced a hard reboot. I initially tried setting the power plan to Ultimate Performance, but that was a total nightmare; it actually made the current jumps more violent and the crashes more frequent. I eventually dove into the BIOS, switched the Load-Line Calibration from Auto to Extreme, and capped the CPU transient power from 253W down to 220W. Monitoring with a digital oscilloscope showed the voltage ripple shrinking from 120-150mV to a much tighter 45-62mV. I did hit a snag where the PC wouldn't post after the first LLC tweak, but adding a tiny 0.02V bump to the DRAM voltage fixed it. The PSU fan stayed between 1100-1300 RPM with internals at 42-48℃. After a four-hour stress test, the voltage is finally holding steady at 45-62mV.
