Should I repaste my PCcooler RT620P for Space Marine 2?
Absolute disaster. My CPU was hitting thermal shutdown during the most intense fights, causing the game to just vanish. The RT620P should be enough, but temps were screaming toward 98-102℃ during particle-heavy scenes, which meant the cold plate wasn't seating right. I tried capping the TDP to 125W, but my FPS tanked from 90 to 55—I refused to play a crippled game. I ripped the cooler off, cleaned the crusty paste, and applied a high-end 12.5 W/mK compound, then switched the fans to a forced exhaust setup. OCCT stress tests showed peaks dropping from 102℃ to a manageable 76-82℃. I actually had one core running hot initially because the mounting pressure was uneven, but a torque adjustment fixed it. Clocks are now stable at 4.9GHz. Memory temps are holding at 58-63℃.
