Is the PCCOOLER RT620P causing frame drops in Granblue?
Whenever big ultimate skill effects hit the screen, the game would just hitch, and it completely killed my rhythm in the middle of a fight. Looking at my logs, the PCCOOLER RT620P was letting the CPU hit 88-94℃ under load, triggering these micro-bursts of thermal throttling. My first instinct was to cap the CPU power limit in software, but that was a disaster—my FPS tanked from 120 down to 85. I felt totally defeated. I ended up ripping the cooler off and found the factory paste was uneven and practically dried out. I swapped it for a high-conductivity liquid metal paste and locked the fans to 1800 RPM at 80℃. Using RTSS frame time analysis, the erratic jumps from 16-45ms tightened up to a tight 11-14ms window. Funnily enough, right after the reinstall, temps actually jumped by 2℃ because I didn't tighten the screws evenly; I had to redo the diagonal tightening sequence to get it right. Now it sits comfortably between 68-74℃ with zero clock fluctuations. 3DMark stress tests show the thermal wall is gone, and my RAM is chilling at 58-63℃.
