Fixing pump cavitation on Cooler Master B360 Core?
Man, this game absolutely shreds the CPU. My AIO basically gave up on me at the worst time. The Cooler Master B360 Core pump runs too slow by default, and under 250W spikes, it triggered a micro-cavitation effect, sending temps from 65℃ to 100℃ in a single second. I tried lowering the resolution to take the load off, but that just made the game look like mud and only dropped temps by 2℃—pure torture. I went into the control software and locked the pump at a constant 3200 RPM and linked the radiator fans directly to the CPU temp. Monitoring showed temps stabilizing between 68-74℃, and the crashes stopped. I had an issue where fans were cycling on and off constantly, but setting a 5℃ hysteresis interval fixed that. Coolant stays at 35-39℃, and frame times are now a consistent 5.1-6.4ms.
