Is the PCcooler RT500 TC causing stutters in MSFS 2024?
Whenever I hit dense cloud layers, my frames would tank from 60 down to 30, and that instability made the whole flight feel anxious. The default fan curve on the PCcooler RT500 TC is way too slow to react to sudden load spikes, letting the CPU jump from 60℃ to 95℃ in just 2 seconds, which triggers a massive frequency swing. I tried enabling 'Ultimate Performance' in Windows, but that just pushed the CPU to 100℃ and forced a hard throttle—a complete nightmare of a trial-and-error process. I eventually went into the BIOS, slashed the fan response time from 0.5s to 0.1s, and set a core voltage offset of -0.03V to keep the heat down. Using RTSS, I saw the frame time variance shrink from 15-40ms down to 11-16ms. It was a night-and-day difference. Initially, the fans were ramping up and down constantly, sounding like a siren, until I bumped the temperature threshold up by 5℃. Now, the CPU sits at 78-84℃ with fans at 1800 RPM. After 4 hours of flying, the controls finally feel responsive.
