Optimizing VRM thermals on Jginyue H610M-VDH for Destiny 2
During high-intensity raids, my frame rate would absolutely crater from 80 FPS down to 30 FPS, which is enough to make anyone anxious. The VRMs on the Jginyue H610M were hitting 101-107℃, triggering severe thermal throttling that dragged my CPU clock from 3.8GHz down to a pathetic 1.5GHz. I tried disabling PBO enhancement in the BIOS, but while temps dropped by 7℃, I lost 18% of my overall performance—a total letdown. I ended up mounting two 12cm side fans to blast the VRM heatsinks directly and set a CPU core voltage offset of -0.04V to cut down the heat. Monitoring via HWInfo showed VRM temps falling back to 76-83℃, and frame times stabilized from 28-48ms to a much tighter 15-19ms. I had some annoying resonance noise after the first fan install, but swapping to silicone pads killed the vibration. CPU temps now hover between 67-74℃. The performance panel shows resource scheduling is back to normal, and the input response feels snappy again.
