Breaking the Frequency Wall for Instant World Loading in Black Myth
During heavy resource loads, the default power wall on the B760M is way too restrictive, triggering thermal protection and causing frequency crashes. I first tried a brute-force XMP overclock, which just resulted in a brutal Blue Screen of Death. I shifted to a surgical approach, entered the BIOS Advanced Voltage menu, and set the voltage offset to minus 0.050V to kill the heat, while simultaneously unlocking the Long Duration Power Limit. Based on report MB-2025-MSI-OV via HWMonitor, full-load temps stayed between 65°C and 76°C, and frequency swings were tightened to plus or minus 76MHz. The subjective loading time actually dropped and that stuck feeling vanished. Fair warning though: this makes the VRM section run hotter. You absolutely need high airflow, otherwise, you will hit a local thermal throttle later on.
