Stopping Hitman 3 Freezes
In large party scenes, my CPU flirted with 98℃ per HWMonitor, causing the entire game to freeze for three seconds. I initially thought it was a RAM issue and closed all background apps, but the frequency stayed stuck around 2.2 GHz per CPU-Z, which felt helpless. I used the GamePP Fan Curve Configuration Panel to find that 80% speed only kicked in at 85℃. After a failed attempt to lock fans at 100% which was too noisy, I set a 70% trigger at 60℃. Cinebench tests showed frequency stabilized at 4.0-4.2 GHz per CPU-Z, with temps at 82-88℃ per AIDA64.
