Cooler Master ML360 SUB-ZERO stuttering in MSFS 2024?

Cruising through the clouds was great until the loading bar hit 90% and just froze. That kind of lag feels like going back to the days of bad coolers. The Cooler Master ML360 SUB-ZERO's TEC plate was jumping between 12V-14V when handling 250W peaks, causing the core temp to swing from 55-72℃. I tried the 'Balanced' power plan in Windows, but that actually slowed down my load times and didn't touch the temp swings. I realized the TEC tuning was the real culprit. I used the dedicated software to set the TEC to 'Intelligent Dynamic' and cranked the pump flow to 100%. HWInfo showed the core temp stabilizing at 62-68℃ with less than 2℃ of variance. I actually triggered a safety reboot early on because of condensation risk, so I had to set the minimum temp threshold to 10℃. Coolant now stays at 35-40℃. Stress tests show performance is back, and RAM is steady at 58-63℃.
