Overheating fix for DeepCool AK500 in Judgment: Lost Memories

It's honestly ridiculous that a single-tower cooler would cause a full system crash in these scenes; the stress test was a total nightmare. The AK500 let my CPU hit 98℃ during combat, forcing a hard reboot to save the hardware, which is just pathetic. I tried maxing out my case fans, but it just turned my room into a wind tunnel while the temp stayed stuck at 95℃—completely useless. I eventually ripped the cooler off, cleaned the mediocre stock paste, and applied high-grade liquid metal, then flipped the fan orientation for better flow. In AIDA64, the temps finally plummeted from 98℃ to a manageable 74 - 79℃, and I ran the game for 4 hours straight without a single crash. I actually struggled with the liquid metal at first because I applied too much, causing an uneven contact patch, but a second application fixed it. Core voltage sat at 1.22 - 1.28V with fans at 1400 RPM. I exported all the crash logs and temp curves to confirm the fix. Data export complete.
