How to stop RT620P from overheating in Tekken 8?
During ranked matches, I noticed my CPU temps slowly creeping up after 20 minutes, eventually plateauing at a nasty 82-88℃. The PCcooler RT620P has very dense fins, so it hits thermal saturation quickly under load, causing clocks to dip from 4.8GHz to 4.1GHz. I tried Windows power-saving mode, but the FPS just halved—it was a complete disaster. I redefined the fan curve to hit 85% speed the moment it hits 60℃ and added a 120mm front intake fan to force more fresh air in. Checking HWMonitor, temps settled at 72-78℃, and frame times stayed between 6-10ms. I had some annoying resonance at 60℃ initially, but changing the step gradient to 4 degrees killed the noise. CPU usage is around 50-65%, and everything feels stable. After three matches, the 6-10ms frame time is consistent.
