How to fix thermal throttling for Corsair DDR5 6000 in CP2077?
It's absolutely ridiculous that a 64GB kit can hit 68-72℃ during Overdrive mode, triggering thermal throttling that kills the clock speed. My first instinct was to cap the core frequencies via software, but my FPS got sliced in half while the temperature barely dropped 1℃—a complete waste of my afternoon. I eventually realized my case had zero exhaust at the top, so I slapped in a high-performance exhaust fan and locked it at 1800 RPM. Checking the sensors, the RAM temps finally dipped to 54-58℃, and frame times shrunk from a choppy 18.2-26.5ms to 13.1-15.8ms. I spent way too much time peeling and reapplying thermal pads thinking they were poorly seated, only to find out it was just a massive heat soak issue in the chassis. Even with this much capacity, you need serious airflow to maintain peak performance. I logged the final data in a performance analyzer, and the fan speed is now holding steady at 1400-1600RPM.
