How to fix heat soak on MSI PRO B760M-A in F1 25?
By the end of a race, the frame rate just drains away—it's honestly pathetic for a modern build. The MSI PRO B760M-A has pretty small VRM heatsinks, so long sessions lead to serious heat soak, with core temps hovering between 85-91℃, forcing the clocks to dive. I tried lowering the shadow quality in-game, but the visuals looked terrible, and it felt like a desperate, low-effort fix. I ended up re-routing the entire case airflow, setting the front fans to high intake and the rear to high exhaust, while pushing the fan curve to the limit. In stress tests, core temps dropped from 88℃ to a range of 74-78℃, and the lag stopped. I did have a small air leak at the top of the case, but adding a dust filter and sealing the gaps fixed it. CPU temps are now 68-73℃, and VRAM is steady at 58-63℃.
