How to manage overclocking backup for PCcooler RT500?
I ran the numbers and it was clear: during heavy medieval scene renders, the RT500 TC ARGB hit transient voltage drops that caused the clock to tank, resulting in jagged frame stutters. I compared a simple voltage bump against a full tune. I used a stress test module to track the stability curve and managed to tighten the core frequency from a wild 2434 - 2764MHz to a stable 2566 - 2640MHz. The first undervolt attempt left some heat spikes, but after stacking a custom fan curve and voltage offsets, I capped the peaks at 67 - 70℃. I could actually feel the hot air coming out of the case decrease. Power draw is still high at 175 - 201W, and there's some coil whine at night. I verified the safety temperature curve is now smooth. I've backed up the config so I can restore it instantly if the BIOS resets. It was a fight to get past the initial thermal wall, but it's finally stable and the input response is way better.
