Is the Cooler Master ML360 Sub-Zero causing spikes in Remnant 2?
The second I hit a Boss fight, my CPU temp shot from 30°C to 75°C in literally 0.5 seconds. This violent oscillation made the system feel incredibly unstable, which was honestly anxiety-inducing. The thermoelectric cooling (TEC) module on the Cooler Master ML360 had a response lag, causing TEC power to swing wildly between 150W-200W. I first tried maxing out the pump speed in the software, but it only shaved 2°C off the peak and caused slight power delivery ripples from my PSU, which was just frustrating. I then went into the dedicated control software and lowered the TEC trigger threshold from 50°C to 40°C while smoothing the pump's linear acceleration curve. On the monitor, the temp swing narrowed from 15°C to just 4-6°C, and the stuttering vanished. I actually had a brief scare with condensation after the first tweak until I capped the room humidity below 50%. Now cores stay between 42-51°C. Performance tools confirm the scheduling is optimized.
