My Noctua NH-D15 G2 has a response lag that leads to instant overheating and crashes in AC Shadows. Virtual memory fix?

While sneaking through high-density crowds, my rig just black-screened and rebooted. The CPU temp had spiked from 60℃ to 94-98℃ in a heartbeat, causing total instability. I spent hours obsessing over RAM compatibility and swapping slots, which was a complete dead end and honestly pretty frustrating. I finally used the control software to slash the fan response time from 2 seconds to 0.3 seconds and capped the trigger at 75-80℃. I watched the core voltage swings shrink from 0.14-0.20V down to 0.07-0.11V, and my FPS stabilized from a wild 40-62 range to a steady 55-59. My first attempt to lower fan speeds just created hot spots; it wasn't until I synced the dual-fan curves that the heat exchange actually worked. There's a tiny bit of coil whine during startup, but it's solid. System logs show the illegal instruction errors are gone, and the input lag is finally gone.
