Stopping Gradual Thermal Decay
During long wasteland explorations, I noticed FPS gradually sliding from 80 to 50 after two hours, a very subtle performance decay. I tried adding an exhaust fan to the top of the case; it lowered temps by 3℃ but had almost no impact on frequency recovery. I used the GamePP Fan Curve Configuration to jump fan speeds directly to 2000 RPM once the CPU hit 75℃. CPU temperature stabilized at 76-81℃ per AIDA64 and fan speeds hit 1800-2000RPM per SpeedFan. Now I can verify at 2000RPM
