How to stop the PCCOOLER RT620 from overheating in MH World?
Fighting Elder Dragons became a total nightmare when my frame rate plummeted from 120 FPS to 45 FPS out of nowhere. The default fan curve on the PCCOOLER RT620 ARGB is way too conservative; it barely hits 1100 RPM before 80°C, which is useless against sudden power spikes. My CPU was hitting 95°C instantly. In a moment of desperation, I tried enabling Power Saver mode in Windows, which was a huge mistake—it didn't lower the temps enough and just crushed my overall performance. I had to go into the BIOS and force a PWM setup with a much more aggressive ladder: 1600 RPM at 75°C and a full 2100 RPM blast at 85°C. Monitoring with HWMonitor, the peaks are now suppressed to 78°C - 82°C, and the throttling is completely gone. I'll admit, when the fans first hit max speed, it sounded like a jet engine taking off in my room. I eventually set a 5-second spin-up delay to make it tolerable. Full load temps are now hovering around 80°C. The system monitor shows no more clock jumps, and the input response feels way more responsive now.
