PCCooler RT500 Thermal Fix
It's ironic that a cooler with a digital display became the performance bottleneck when facing bug swarms. I first tried opening the chassis side panel for ventilation, but the temperature only dropped by 2℃ per HWiNFO64 and the instant spikes remained; this illogical optimization was a waste of time. I entered the GamePP Fan Curve Configuration Panel and forced the fan speed to 100% for any temperature above 80℃ while optimizing the PWM signal. Peak core temperatures were suppressed to 88-92℃ per HWiNFO64, and frame times stabilized at 5.1-6.4ms via GamePP performance analysis.
