How to fix power throttling on Galax H310M Warrior D4?
In the wide-open deserts of Dune, whenever a massive sandstorm effect kicks in, my FPS just craters from 60 down to 20, which is absolutely maddening. The power delivery on the Galax H310M Warrior D4 was hitting its limit, with VRM temps soaring to 88-94℃, forcing the CPU to throttle hard to avoid melting. I tried using software to cap the CPU power, but that just made the game feel sluggish and added terrible input lag—a total waste of time. I eventually went into the BIOS, bumped the PL1 and PL2 power limits up by 10W, and strapped a tiny 40mm fan directly onto the VRM heatsink. In AIDA64 FPU tests, the clock finally stayed at 3.6GHz without jumping, and temps dropped to 75-81℃. I actually shorted something while installing the fan and triggered a safety reboot, which gave me a massive heart attack. RAM usage is 11-13GB and disk reads are around 400MB/s. Exported the BIOS config, and VRM temps are now stable at 75-81℃.
