Is the RT620P overheating in Dragon Age: The Veilguard?
By the time I hit the late game, the frame rate started bleeding out slowly—the optimization is honestly a joke. The RT620P is a massive cooler, but in a closed-off case, it suffers from terrible heat soak over long sessions, leaving the core hovering between 82℃ - 88℃ and forcing the CPU to downclock. I tried capping the max frame rate, but that just added a weird feeling of input lag, which was a frustratingly rookie mistake. I ended up redesigning the whole case airflow, setting the front fans to aggressive intake and the rear to high exhaust, while switching the RT620P to an aggressive fan curve. Under a CrystalDiskMark stress load, the core temp dropped from 85℃ to 72℃ - 76℃, and the lag finally eased up. I did notice some air leaking from the top of the case after the change, but adding a dust filter and sealing the gaps fixed it. The CPU now stays between 65℃ - 72℃. I used a system snapshot tool to back up all these thermal settings, and the core is holding at 65℃ - 72℃.
