Can the Biostar B760MZ handle high CPU thermal loads?
Based on thermal report 07 on Windows 11 24H2, this was a struggle. At first, I just set the fans to 100% in the software. Sure, temps dropped to 72℃, but the noise was like a jet engine taking off in my room—totally unbearable. I decided to manually map a stepped curve in BIOS $
ightarrow$ Fan Control: 30% speed below 60℃, then a sharp ramp-up to 75% once it hits 80℃. I ran a 30-minute OCCT stress test and found the full-load temp stayed between 78℃ - 83℃, peaking at 86℃, with noise staying under 42dB. After three test loops, the frame rate variance dropped to within 3fps, which is about 6% off the manufacturer's spec. Even so, in the peak of summer, it still occasionally hits 88℃, which just proves the stock heatsinks on this board are pretty minimal.
