Is the Noctua NH-D15 G2 struggling with heat in Enshrouded?
Every time I build a massive settlement, my CPU clocks start jumping between 4.5-4.8GHz, and that instability gave me some serious anxiety. Even with the Noctua NH-D15 G2's beastly performance, my closed-off case was creating local heat pockets, leaving the cores hovering around 88°C. I tried setting the fans to full blast in BIOS, but it only dropped 3°C and the noise was an absolute nightmare in a quiet room—totally unacceptable. I eventually switched my front fans to a positive pressure setup and applied a -0.07V voltage offset in the BIOS. Running 3DMark, the core temps plummeted from 88-92°C to a much safer 72-78°C, and the stuttering stopped. I actually hit a BSOD on the first boot after the undervolt, so I had to back it off to -0.05V to get it stable. Now it sits at 65-71°C with fans at 1100 RPM. 1% lows improved by 12%, and the setup is finally dialed in.
