Optimizing Voltage Curves and Extracting Peak Performance on Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE ARGB

Marathon stress runs show multi-core rendering pushing VRM temps dangerously close to thermal tripwires. Basic airflow mods barely help until manually dropping voltage offsets in the BIOS to a range of -0.050V to -0.080V, and capping P-core limits which actually starves the heat source. Benchmark telemetry with 3DMark confirms that the VRM stays within a comfortable 75C - 82C range, and the multi-core scores flatten out beautifully. Is undervolting really the magic bullet for unlocking hidden headroom? Single-core peaks take a tiny hit, but sustained framerate delivery gets noticeably smoother, with GamePP reporting a consistent 110fps - 125fps. Hitting that sweet spot between power limits and cooling capacity is the real key, though you'll probably crash a few times trying to find that golden voltage value.
