How do I stop the RT500 Digital from throttling in TLOU Part I?
Whenever I hit those overgrown ruins, my CPU temps would spike from 65℃ to 92℃ without any warning. The stock fan curve on the RT500 Digital is way too conservative, meaning the fins only ramp up after the heat has already soaked in, which triggered some nasty clock speed drops. I tried locking the fans at 100% in the BIOS, and while it kept temps at 78℃, the noise was like a damn power drill—completely unbearable. I eventually went into the motherboard software and redefined the temperature steps, setting 60℃ as the trigger and slashing the response delay from 2 seconds down to 0.5 seconds. Checking HWMonitor, the core temp swings shrunk from 15℃ to just 5℃, and the stuttering vanished. I did have a bit of a nightmare initially when I tried lowering the voltage offset; the system just froze on the loading screen until I bumped the Vcore back up by 0.03V. Now, full load temps sit between 76-81℃ with fans humming at 1400-1700RPM. I exported this logic to a motherboard profile to keep it permanent.
