ASRock A320M-ITX Thermal Fix
Running an open world in a tiny ITX case was a challenge; every battle felt like a hardware torture test as the screen froze. I tried lowering the CPU power limit, which dropped temperatures by 10℃ but slashed my FPS from 50 to 30, a pathetic trade-off. I used the GamePP Fan Curve Configuration Panel to force the chassis fans to 100% once the motherboard hit 80℃. RTSS showed frequency stabilized at 3.2-3.6GHz, HWiNFO64 confirmed VRM temperatures dropped to 82-88℃, and BIOS monitored fan speed at 1800 RPM.
