Stop voltage drops on Soyo SY-Yanlong B550M?
It's a joke trying to run Flight Sim 2024 on an entry-level board like this; it's basically a stress test for the hardware. The Soyo SY-Yanlong B550M's power delivery was hitting 108℃ when calculating airflow, causing a brutal 0.1V Vcore drop that resulted in a black screen reboot during takeoff. I tried slapping some heatsinks on the VRMs, but it only dropped the temp by 3℃—a totally futile effort. I finally went into the BIOS, capped the CPU Max Boost at 4.2GHz, and set the power plan to Balanced to stop the transient power spikes. In a 30-minute OCCT stress test, voltage ripple was kept under 0.02V, and the crashes stopped. The sim takes about 5 seconds longer to load now, but that's better than a full system reboot mid-flight. CPU temps are 72-80℃ with fans locked at 2200RPM. I exported the BIOS profile to save these conservative settings, and the input response finally feels snappy.
