Why is my ML360 Sub-Zero causing crashes in Days Gone?

This thermoelectric cooler was a joke under extreme loads—every half hour the system would just reboot from a sudden temp overshoot. The sensor panel showed the core jumping from 60℃ to 102℃ in ten seconds, triggering a hard shutdown. I tried lowering the CPU power limit in BIOS, but that cost me 15 FPS, which felt like a suicide mission for my performance. I eventually switched the cold plate power from 'Auto' to 'Manual' and maxed out the radiator fan response to flush the heat faster. After 12 hours of Prime95 torture testing, the crashes finally stopped. I did deal with some minor condensation on the cold plate after the voltage tweak, which I fixed by keeping the room humidity under 40%. Now the core is a chilly 55-62℃ and the radiator is 42-48℃. I've backed up the config; it's a pain to set up, but it actually works now.
