Why is my RT620P struggling with heat in Metro Awakening?
While navigating those dim tunnels, my frame rate started jumping all over the place, which was a total nightmare. The PCCOOLER RT620P has decent mass, but it had a 4-6℃ lag in heat transfer during sudden power spikes, leaving the core temps swinging wildly between 84℃ and 90℃. I first tried capping the processor state at 95% in Windows, but while temps dropped by 5℃, my 1% lows tanked from 78 FPS to 55 FPS, which felt like a massive step backward. I eventually dove into the BIOS and manually drew a fan curve, setting 78℃ as the 100% trigger point, and pushed a CPU offset voltage of -0.04V. Checking HWiNFO, the temps finally settled into a stable 74-78℃ range. I actually tried locking the fans at 2200 RPM at first, but the noise was absolutely deafening without much gain; the stepped ramp-up was the real fix. Now the clock is locked at 4.4GHz without any dips. After some stress tests, my 1% lows improved by 18% with fans humming at a reasonable 1400-1600 RPM.
