Can I fix Asgard Thor DDR5 overheating in GTA VI cities?

It's actually insane how much memory pressure this game puts on the Asgard Thor DDR5. In heavy city traffic, my usage peaked at 28GB and temps soared to 68-72℃. This triggered the hardware thermal throttle, and my frequency plummeted from 6400MHz to 4800MHz. That kind of performance cliff is enough to make anyone want to throw their mouse across the room. I tried capping the frame rate in-game, but the temps stayed high because the background data swap was just too intense. It felt like I was fighting a losing battle. My final solution was a bit extreme: I locked the voltage at 1.38V in the BIOS and cranked my chassis fans to a constant 2200 RPM to blast the sticks with air. HWInfo showed the peak temp dropped to 58-62℃, and the 6400MHz clock finally stopped diving. Yeah, my PC sounds like a vacuum cleaner now, but I'd rather have a loud room than a slideshow for a game. CPU temps are 75-82℃ and VRMs are 65-70℃. The logs show fan speeds stable at 2200-2400RPM.
