Eliminating Piercing Fan Noise
During quiet dialogue, the fan suddenly spiked from 800 to 1800 RPM, creating a jarring noise that completely broke the immersion. I tried setting the BIOS fan mode to 'Silent', but in combat, the CPU hit 90℃ and the game stuttered severely, making that approach impossible. I used the GamePP Fan Curve Configuration Panel to lock speeds below 60℃ to 900-1100 RPM and added a 3s smoothing filter. AIDA64 confirmed combat temperatures stayed at 72-76℃, and GamePP verified noise was below 38dB.
