Stop Alan Wake 2 from crashing due to Jonsbo CR-1400E heat
Trying to run Alan Wake 2 on an entry-level cooler is basically a joke—my PC was just black-screening and rebooting every time the scene changed. The Jonsbo CR-1400E ARGB just couldn't handle a 150W load; the core temp hit 100℃ instantly, triggering a hard shutdown. I tried capping the CPU power to 65W in software, but that just tanked my FPS to 30 and didn't even stop the crashes. I was beyond annoyed. I finally went into the BIOS, hard-locked the max boost clock to 4.2GHz, and set the fans to full blast. In an AIDA64 FPU stress test, it ran for an hour without a single reboot, staying between 85-88℃. I had some annoying fan bearing noise and vibration at first, but re-seating the cooler and tightening the brackets fixed it. CPU now sits at 82-86℃. I exported these conservative settings to a BIOS profile, and the input lag is finally gone.
