How can I stop my i5 12600KF from throttling during intense combat?

I was losing immersion in Phantom Blade Zero (Beta) because my Intel Core i5 12600KF was hitting 75-82℃, causing visible input lag. I tried reapplying thermal paste, but the temperature spikes persisted, leaving me frustrated. I then used the GamePP Fan Curve Configurator to increase fan speed from 1200 RPM to 1800 RPM. Per HWiNFO monitoring, the core temperature stabilized at 68-74℃. RTSS showed frame generation intervals dropped from 8.3-12.1ms to 5.1-6.4ms. The game finally ran smoothly, and I saved my progress with confidence.
