Is the Huntkey Blizzard T600 causing throttling in Hellblade 2?
At max settings, the screen would just freeze for a split second before recovering, and that inconsistent frame pacing was honestly stressful. The Blizzard T600 lacks enough static pressure below 80°C, causing heat to soak into the fins until the core hit 94-98°C. I tried limiting the maximum processor state to 95% in Windows, but while temps dropped 4°C, I lost about 12% of my overall performance, which felt like a terrible compromise. I eventually flipped my front case fans to intake and pushed the T600 curve to 85% speed at 70°C. HWiNFO showed the peak temp drop from 98°C to a range of 76-81°C, and the FPS variance tightened up to 58-64 FPS. I had some weird chassis resonance after changing the airflow, but moving the fan mounting positions slightly killed the vibration. VRM temps are now sitting at 65-71°C. After a two-hour stress test, the throttling stopped, and the input lag feels way more responsive now.
