How to stop i5-14600KF from overheating in Yotei?
Man, the 14600KF is a beast, but Ghost of Yotei's rendering pushed it to a literal meltdown, hitting 100℃ and triggering a hard shutdown. It felt like I was playing a survival game just trying to keep the PC on. The stock voltage is way too aggressive for these physics loads. I tried an undervolt of -0.1V in the BIOS, but the game started crashing every ten minutes—trading stability for temps is a joke. I eventually went into my fan control and forced the curves to 2500 RPM once it hits 80℃ and tweaked the LLC (Load Line Calibration). In OCCT stress tests, I finally pinned the temps between 88-92℃, and the reboots stopped. I did have a funny fail where I accidentally synced my RGB to the temp alert, so my whole board was flashing red like a disco during the test. The fans sound like a jet engine now, but at least the game doesn't kill my power. I've exported the logs and it's finally playable.
