How to stop Once Human from crashing on Galax B760M D4?

It was insane—every time I entered a complex player base, my CPU temp would rocket from 65°C to 96-99°C in ten seconds, causing the game to just vanish from my screen. The default fan curve on the Galax B760M D4 Black Knight is way too sluggish for these bursts. I tried capping the max processor state to 95% in Windows, but my FPS tanked from 110 to 75, which felt like a massive step backward. Instead, I went into BIOS → Monitor → Fan Control and slashed the fan response time from 2 seconds to 0.3 seconds, while undervolting the core by -0.04V. HWiNFO confirmed peak temps dropped to 82-86°C. I actually overdid the undervolt at first and got a Blue Screen of Death immediately upon loading, so I backed it off to -0.02V for stability. Now, CPU load sits between 60-80% with a flat temp curve. After ten consecutive base entries, no more crashes, and the input lag is practically gone.
