Fixing CPU Thermal Spikes
I felt pure frustration while exploring abandoned Russian tunnels; complex global illumination sent my CPU temps spiking from 65℃ to 91℃ per HWMonitor, causing immersion-breaking stutters. I tried setting the fan mode to full speed in BIOS, but the noise was like a helicopter taking off, which is unacceptable for late-night gaming. I used the GamePP Fan Curve Configuration Panel to steepen the speed slope for the 75-85℃ range and added a 3s smoothing delay. Now, HWMonitor confirms peak temperatures are suppressed to 76-81℃, and CPU-Z shows frequency stabilized at 3.8-4.1GHz. AIDA64 also verified VRM temperatures stayed at 60-66℃.
