Solving Jonsbo CR-1400E overheating in Like a Dragon: Ishin
Honestly, trying to run high-load scenes on this entry-level cooler is just asking for trouble; the crash rate was insane. The CR-1400E let my CPU hit 95 - 100℃, triggering the motherboard's thermal protection and killing the game instantly. I tried leaving the case side panel open, but that only dropped temps by 3 degrees—it was a joke. I finally went into the BIOS and capped the CPU TDP at 65W and set the fan curve to hit 100% as soon as it hit 60℃. In stability tests, the CPU finally leveled off at 78 - 84℃, and I played for 10 hours without a single crash. I actually set the power limit too low at first, which tanked my FPS to 40, so I had to nudge it up to 80W to find the sweet spot between stability and performance. Core voltage stayed at 1.15 - 1.21V. I exported these compromise settings as a backup. Config backup successful.
