Combat Urban Area Overheating
Running through Novigrad was smooth at first, but after an hour, the frames started dropping, ruining the experience. I tried lowering the environmental detail settings, which helped the GPU but left the CPU overheating at 88-94℃ per HWInfo, which was an unacceptable compromise. I used the GamePP Fan Curve Configuration Panel to force the fans to 85% speed at 60℃. RTSS showed frames returning to a stable 55-60 FPS, and AIDA64 confirmed CPU temps at 70-76℃.
