Is the Jonsbo CR-1400 ARGB causing thermal throttling in R6 Siege?
During some high-stakes ranked matches, I noticed my CPU temps slowly creeping up after about 30 minutes, eventually plateauing at a worrying 84-89℃. Because the Jonsbo CR-1400 ARGB is so compact, it hits thermal saturation pretty quickly under sustained load, which caused my CPU clock to swing from 4.5 GHz down to 3.8 GHz. I tried enabling Windows Power Saving mode as a Hail Mary, but that was a disaster—my FPS literally got cut in half. I ended up redefining the fan curve so that the fans hit 80% speed as soon as the CPU hits 60℃, and I added a 120mm front intake fan to feed it more fresh air. Checking HWMonitor, the core temps finally settled between 74-79℃, and frame times stayed between 6-9ms. I had a slight resonance issue at 60℃ where the case started humming, but changing the step gradient to 3 degrees killed the noise. CPU usage is hovering around 55-68%, and the system feels way more robust. Three matches in a row with no throttling confirms it's fixed.
