How to fix AK620 White ARGB thermal spikes in Tekken 8?
Watching my FPS plummet the moment a special move hits is honestly anxiety-inducing. The AK620 is a beast, but it struggled with 200W+ power spikes, with a heat transfer lag of 0.5-1.2s that pushed the core to 98℃. I tried enabling High Performance mode in Windows, but that was a total nightmare—the CPU just pinned at 100℃ and forced a hard throttle. I eventually went into the BIOS and manually capped PL1 at 150W and moved the fan trigger point from 60℃ down to 50℃. Using RTSS, my 1% lows jumped from 42 FPS to 58 FPS, and the frame time variance shrank from 20-55ms to 15-22ms. I lost a tiny bit of raw performance at first, but a slight voltage tweak to 1.22V brought the smoothness back. Now the CPU hovers between 78-84℃ with the fans working hard. No more sudden clock drops, just pure stability.
