Elden Ring Water Cooling Fix
The stutter in ELDEN RING Shadow of the Erdtree was killing my immersion. My Valkyrie V360 Lite pump couldn't keep up, pushing water temps from 42℃ to 58℃ and dropping core freq from 5.1GHz to 4.6GHz. I tried locking the pump to max speed, but the noise was unbearable. I used GamePP Hardware Sensor to check the PWM curve and found it was too flat below 50℃. I increased the pump speed at 45℃ from 2000 RPM to 2400 RPM. AIDA64 stress tests showed water temps stabilizing at 45-48℃. Frame times held at 8-10ms. I backed up the profile and the cooling is solid.
