Why is my RT620P overheating in Indiana Jones?
While trekking through dense jungle areas, my CPU would hit 92℃ and the game would just freeze for a split second—classic thermal throttling. The PCcooler RT620P fans were idling too low below 80℃, and my case was basically a sauna, trapping all the heat inside. I tried limiting the CPU power limit (PL1) to 125W, but while that dropped temps by 6 degrees, my minimums fell from 55 FPS to 42 FPS, which was a pretty disappointing trade-off. I eventually flipped my front case fans to a high-pressure intake and set the RT620P curve to hit 90% speed at 70℃. HWiNFO showed my cores dropping from 92-96℃ down to 75-81℃, and my FPS settled into a tight 62-68 range. I had some annoying resonance noise after the airflow change, but shifting the fan mounts slightly killed the vibration. VRM temps are now 62-68℃. After two hours of stress testing, the throttling is officially dead.
