How to fix single-core overheating on Huntkey Blizzard T600?

While sprinting toward the safe zone, my frames suddenly tanked from 110 to 45, and the stutter was absolutely brutal. I checked the monitors and saw a nightmare scenario: one core was hitting 96℃ while the others were chilling at 62℃—classic bad contact. I tried the software fan-speed trick first, but the noise went up and the temp only dropped 1℃, which was just frustrating. I ended up stripping the cooler, swapping in some high-performance paste, and making sure the mounting screws were tightened in a perfectly symmetrical pattern. HWiNFO showed the core delta crashing from 34℃ down to a tight 7-11℃, and the lag vanished. I also realized the fan cables were actually leaning against the fins, so I tidied them up with zip ties, which shaved off another 4℃. The CPU now sits between 64-70℃ and is rock solid. Comparing the clock curves, the temps are holding steady at 64-70℃.
