Does the Huntkey Blizzard T600 cause overheating in Expeditions: Rome?
It's honestly ridiculous that a strategy game could push my CPU to 90℃. The visual smoothness was just a facade for the hardware struggle happening under the hood. The Huntkey Blizzard T600 has pretty low fin density, so it hits thermal saturation during long sessions, causing temps to swing wildly between 85-92℃ and making my frame times jump all over the place. I tried enabling power-saving mode in the drivers, but the loading times became absolutely abysmal—a total disaster. I went into the BIOS, switched the fan to manual, and cranked it to 100% once it hit 70℃. I also added a 120mm exhaust fan to the back of the case to get the hot air out faster. In RTSS, the frame times finally leveled out to 12-16ms, and that uneasy jitter is gone. I actually wasted ten minutes thinking I'd wired the new fan wrong because it wasn't spinning, only to find the connector wasn't plugged in all the way. CPU temps now stay between 78-84℃ with RAM usage around 12GB. I exported the voltage profile so I can restore it easily. Fans are steady at 1400-1600RPM.
