Stopping GTA V crashes on DeepCool AK620
It's honestly ridiculous that an RP mod can push a CPU to 98℃; the thermal pressure was just insane. The AK620 struggled with the all-core load, and the motherboard kept triggering the thermal shutdown, which made the trial-and-error process a total slog. I tried leaving the case side panel open, which only dropped the temp by 4 degrees and didn't stop the crashes every two hours—a complete joke of a solution. I finally went into the BIOS and capped the max CPU power from 'Auto' to 125W, while setting the fan curve to hit 100% at 60℃. In stability tests, the CPU finally settled between 76-82℃, and I ran the game for 12 hours straight without a single crash. I actually set the limit too low at first and my FPS tanked to 50, so I bumped it to 150W to find the balance between heat and speed. Core voltage is now 1.18-1.24V with fans at 1800 RPM. I exported these settings to a config file, and the game finally feels responsive again.
