Is the Valkyrie V360 DRACULA overheating in Shadow of the Erdtree?
Every time I hit a massive boss fight, the screen would just freeze, and that anxiety of crashing right during a perfect parry was absolutely nerve-wracking. The Valkyrie V360 DRACULA has a high ceiling, but the default silent fan curve was way too slow to react to burst loads, letting the core temp rocket from 60℃ to 96℃ in just 3 seconds. I tried locking all cores to a low frequency in the BIOS, but the combat became sluggish and choppy, which was a depressing compromise. Instead, I moved the fan trigger threshold from 65℃ down to 45℃ and applied a -0.05V voltage offset to kill the heat at the source. Under stress tests, peak temps dropped from 96-99℃ to a manageable 78-84℃, and the freezes stopped entirely. I actually hit a few Blue Screens early on because the offset was too aggressive, so I backed it off to -0.03V for total stability. Fans now spin at 1300-1600 RPM, and the noise is still low. After a 30-minute loop test, the system is rock solid, and the input lag is gone.
