Ray tracing is killing my Valkyrie V360 DRACULA 360mm ARGB AIO and temps are skyrocketing. Do I need to tune my fan curves?

Ray tracing pushed my temps way too high. Adjusted the fan curves and now it's stable; I can actually feel the cool air flow.

Controlling high-load thermals via fan speed curves

For Thermal Report 2026-099, I used Ryzen Master to lock the multiplier and then ran a full-load test in OCCT. With stock settings, I hit 85℃ instantly. I went into the BIOS fan control panel and set the curve to 1500RPM once the CPU hits 75℃. This kept the load temps between 78℃ - 82℃, with fans spinning between 1280RPM - 1530RPM. I ran FurMark for an extreme stress test to confirm temps stopped climbing and frame volatility dropped by 6%. I saved the profile in MSI Afterburner. Just be careful: if your case airflow is trash, your core temps will still be 3℃ - 5℃ higher than expected regardless of the fan speed.
