How to back up CPU overclock parameters for Starfield?
I compared auto-overclocking versus manual voltage curve tuning, and the difference is night and day. Auto mode caused transient voltage drops during heavy space exploration, which led to jagged stuttering. I went manual: used the CPU master software and a stress test module to track core frequency swings, eventually narrowing the frequency from 2440 - 2770MHz to a stable 2565 - 2645MHz. After the first undervolt, the spikes were still there, but once I stacked a custom fan curve and a voltage offset, the thermal peaks were suppressed to 69 - 72℃, and the hot air coming out of the case felt way less intense. Even though the power draw was 180 - 206W with some coil whine and fan noise, the OC tools confirmed the safety temperature curve was smooth. I hit a thermal wall early on, but after the second calibration, it's rock steady. The backup config is done, and the game feels much more responsive now.
