Is the B760M-D PRO V20 overheating in Cyberpunk 2077?

This board is a joke. Every time I tried to crank up Path Tracing, it rewarded me with a total black screen. The VRM area on the Colorful B760M-D PRO V20 was hitting 98-104℃ under full load, causing voltage drops that killed the system. I tried blasting all fans to 100%, but it sounded like a jet engine and only dropped the temp by 3℃—absolutely ridiculous. I finally gave up and capped the CPU PL1 at 125W in the BIOS and forced the front case fans into high-intake mode. HWInfo showed the VRMs dropping to a manageable 76-82℃, and the crashes stopped. I had some weird detection delays after the first power limit, but a BIOS update sorted it out. CPU temps now sit at 72-78℃. Exported the crash logs to verify, and fans are humming along at 1400-1600 RPM. Still not a great board, but it works now.
