How to stop God of War crashes on a Galax H310M Warrior?
Using this ancient H310 board for the God of War DLC is basically a joke; it black-screened every time a big ability triggered. The VRM on the Galax H310M Warrior D4 had a voltage drop of 0.15V when the CPU boosted to 4.0GHz, causing an instant crash. I tried limiting the CPU power to 65W via software, but the FPS tanked to 20 and it still rebooted. I was beyond annoyed. I went into the BIOS, hard-locked the max boost to 3.6GHz, and added a +0.05V Vcore offset. In AIDA64 FPU stress tests, it ran for an hour without a single reboot, with voltage holding steady at 1.12-1.18V. The VRM hit 95℃ at first, so I had to zip-tie a 4cm fan over the power phase. CPU is now 78-85℃ and VRMs are 72-78℃. Saved these conservative settings to the BIOS profile.
