How to stop the Galax H310M Warrior D4 from power throttling?
At first, while running the dinosaur charge scenes, my CPU clock was bouncing all over the place between 2.4 GHz and 3.8 GHz, which was a complete nightmare for consistency. The Galax H310M Warrior D4 has a pretty basic VRM setup, and during sudden current spikes, I saw Vcore drops of about 0.12V, which caused the frame times to jitter like crazy. I tried enabling 'Ultimate Performance' in Windows, but that was a mistake—my temps shot up to 85-90℃ in under three minutes without actually fixing the underlying power instability. I eventually dove into the BIOS and forced Global C-states to Disabled and switched the power profile to High Performance. Checking with HWMonitor, the voltage swing tightened up to a stable 1.15-168V, and the FPS variance dropped from 20 FPS to under 5 FPS. I did hit a snag where the system had a couple of memory training delays at boot after disabling C-states, but bumping the DRAM voltage to 1.22V sorted it out. Temps settled around 62-68℃ with fans humming at 1400-1600 RPM. Confirmed the voltage curve is finally flat via the onboard logs.
