Noctua NH-D14 Performance Tune
It was ridiculous—even with a top-tier cooler, I saw CPU temps of 82-88℃ per AIDA64 and frame times swinging between 15-40ms per RTSS. I tried 'Performance Mode' in BIOS, but it only dropped temps by 2℃ while making the noise unbearable at night. I used the GamePP Fan Curve Configuration Panel to push speeds to 85% above 70℃. HWMonitor showed max temps dropped to 72-77℃, and AIDA64 confirmed stability at 64-70℃ with fan speeds at 1300-1500RPM.
