Cooler Master Pump Tuning
During large-scale cavalry charges, I felt total despair as my CPU temperature skyrocketed from 62℃ to 94-98℃ per AIDA64, causing clock speeds to crash from 5.2GHz to 3.1GHz. I tried setting the fan mode to full speed in the BIOS, but the noise was unbearable and temperatures still hovered around 90℃. Using the GamePP Hardware Sensor, I found the pump was locked at 2100 RPM and switched it to 3200 RPM extreme mode. Now, peak temps are suppressed to 76-81℃ per HWInfo64, and frame times dropped from 18-42ms to 11-14ms per GamePP Frame Analysis.
