How to stop Hyper 612 APEX throttling in MH World?
During big boss fights, my frame rate would bounce erratically between 60 and 40 FPS, which made me really hesitant to engage in aggressive combos. I checked the logs and saw the CPU hitting 90-95℃, triggering the motherboard's thermal wall and tanking the clock speed from 4.6GHz to 3.1GHz. I tried lowering the graphics, but a 3℃ drop didn't stop the lag; you can't solve a physical cooling failure with software settings. I went into the BIOS and set up a stepped acceleration fan curve and added two extra intake fans to the front of the case to force more cold air in. My peak temps dropped from 95℃ to a stable 70-76℃, and the frequency drops stopped. The fans were screaming at first, so I had to pull back the speed to 800 RPM for anything under 60℃ to keep it quiet. Now it's rock solid, and my frame times are consistently between 9-13ms. It just goes to show that case airflow is everything.
