Is the Jonsbo CR-1400E ARGB causing heat soak in Warhammer 3?
When commanding tens of thousands of units, my FPS would suddenly tank from 75 to 38, which is a disaster for strategic timing. Sensors showed the Jonsbo CR-1400E ARGB couldn't handle the burst loads, with heat pooling at the base and cores hitting 88-92C. I tried enabling power-saving mode, but that just slowed down the AI calculations, increasing turn times by 40%—completely unacceptable. I ended up redesigning the case airflow, bumping the rear exhaust to 1600 RPM to create a strong positive pressure environment, and set the cooler fan to hit 80% speed at 65C. In RTSS, frame time jitter dropped from 12-35ms to a tight 14-18ms, and temps settled at 74-79C. I noticed some weird turbulence noise at the top of the case after the change, but lowering the front intake fans by 200 RPM killed it. CPU power now stays between 95-110W. After three massive campaigns, the stuttering is gone and RAM stays at 58-63C.
