DeepCool AK500 ARGB Overheating
Facing top-tier graphics, my single-tower cooler felt like a joke as core temperatures hit 95℃, causing the frame rate to tank. I tried opening the side panel in a desperate move, but it only lowered temps by 3℃ while letting in heaps of dust. I finally used the GamePP Fan Curve Configuration to force the fan speed to 100% whenever temps exceeded 80℃ and disabled silent mode. AIDA64 stress tests showed peak temps were suppressed to 83-86℃, and HWiNFO verified the frequency stabilized at 4.2-4.4GHz with package power at 120-130W.
