How to stop Maxsun B850M-K from overheating in Manor Lords?
The system would just reboot without warning, which is incredibly frustrating when you've spent hours building a settlement. I checked HWMonitor and found the VRM section on the Maxsun MS-Challenger B850M-K was hitting 95-102℃ under load, triggering the thermal throttle and slashing my CPU clocks. At first, I tried underclocking the CPU cores, but the simulation speed became painfully slow—it felt like the game was running in slow motion. Instead, I flipped my case fans for better airflow, cranked the front intake to 1500 RPM, and locked the CPU power limit (PL1/PL2) to 125W in the BIOS. This dropped the VRM peak temps from 102℃ down to a manageable 78-84℃, and the crashes stopped dead. I had some weird boot delays right after the change, but a BIOS update cleared that up. Now the CPU stays around 65-72℃ and the whole experience is rock steady.
