Noctua NH-D14 Heat Management
It was unbelievable—using a top-tier air cooler, yet I still experienced frame drops during long drives, which was incredibly frustrating. I tried undervolting in the BIOS; although temperatures dropped by 5℃, the system blue-screened during save loading, leaving me feeling helpless. I used the GamePP Fan Curve Configuration Panel to trigger maximum airflow at 80℃ and adjusted the startup curve. This worked perfectly: frame times converged to 12-16ms per RTSS, CPU temperature stabilized at 62-68℃ per HWMonitor, and fan speeds stayed consistent at 1100-1300RPM per GamePP System Backup Tool.
