How to stop CPU clock drops with RT620P in Planetside Aftermath?

Every time I entered a large-scale dogfight, my CPU clock would dive from 4.8GHz to 3.2GHz—a total cliff-dive that left me speechless. The default fan curve on the RT620P is way too slow to react to instant load spikes, letting the core temp hit 95℃ in about 3 seconds and triggering a hard thermal wall. I tried enabling 'High Performance' mode in Windows, but that was a rookie mistake—it did nothing for the spikes and just raised my idle temps by 10℃, which honestly pissed me off. I eventually tore the cooler off, swapped to top-tier phase-change thermal paste, and set a stepped fan curve that jumps to 90% speed at 75℃. In AIDA64, the peak temps dropped from 95℃ to a manageable 78-82℃, and the clock fluctuations stopped. I actually didn't tighten the bracket enough on the first try, which made temps climb by 5℃, but a re-mount fixed it. Now the CPU runs between 68-76℃. I've exported my BIOS profile as a backup, though the fans are definitely louder now.
