How to handle RT620P thermal saturation in Banishers?

This cooler felt like it was giving up on my CPU, with temps just screaming toward 100℃. The RT620P hit a thermal saturation point under sustained load, and the heat pipe efficiency dropped by about 15% after 30 minutes, leaving the core stuck between 94-99℃. I tried the 'brute force' method of ripping the side panel off my case, which dropped temps by 5℃ but let in a mountain of dust—totally ridiculous. I ended up redesigning the case airflow, switching the front fans to a positive pressure setup and locking the RT620P fans to 100% once it hits 85℃. In AIDA64 stress tests, the core temp dropped from 97℃ to a more manageable 86-89℃, and the lowest frame dips improved by 30%. I had some annoying fan resonance at first, but dialing back the top exhaust by 200 RPM sorted it. CPU power stayed at 140-155W. Exported the logs and it's finally stable.
