Core Frequency Locking
Walking through busy town streets felt sluggish, with a constant tearing sensation as players increased. I first tried enabling Auto Overclock in BIOS, but CPU temperatures spiked to 95℃ per AIDA64, triggering thermal protection. I used the GamePP Power Plan Switcher for High Performance and locked the core frequency at 3.4GHz via Hardware Sensor. RivaTuner showed 1% lows rose from 32 to 50 FPS, and AIDA64 confirmed temps at 68-75℃. Everything is stable.
