Verify NH-D14 Cooler Contact
Traversing the forest, the screen experienced micro-stuttering as CPU temperatures reached 90°C. I first tried reapplying thermal paste, but the temperature remained high, suggesting a mechanical issue. I then used the GamePP Hardware Sensor Page to guide me through reinstalling the cooler and adjusting the mounting pressure for proper contact. After the adjustment, AIDA64 monitoring showed the temperature dropping to 75°C. Scene transitions became smooth without stuttering, and the visual continuity was restored. The cooler status was verified through stress testing, confirming that the mechanical installation was the root cause of the previous thermal issues.
