Fixing Cooler Master B240 pump lag in Farming Simulator 25
During the jump from the launcher to the main menu, my CPU hits this ridiculous power spike that sends temps flying to 82-86℃. The Cooler Master MasterLiquid B240 pump is way too cautious during cold starts, and that delay triggers a brief frequency limit that drags out the loading screen for no reason. I tried setting the pump to Full Speed in the BIOS, which shaved 2 seconds off the load time, but the low-frequency hum in a quiet room was just unsettling. I settled on a timed scheduling workaround: I use a script to pre-warm the fans to 60% five minutes before launching and optimized my XMP profile to a stable 3600MHz. Using a boot timer, the time from click to farm dropped from 45 seconds to 32 seconds. I also found a driver version that linked RGB lighting to clock speeds, which was just weird, so I disabled that plugin. Now peak loading temps are only 74-77℃ before dropping to 42℃. Cold boot cycles now keep the CPU steady at 42-48℃.
