Fixing thermal throttling for Huntkey T600 in Metro Exodus?

The second I stepped indoors, the frame rate just tanked, and that choppy feeling was absolutely killing the stealth vibe. Looking at the logs, the heat pipes on the Huntkey Blizzard T600 Typhoon had a 6°C - 10°C lag in heat transfer during heavy bursts, leaving the core idling in a danger zone between 90°C and 98°C. My first instinct was to slap on the 'High Performance' power plan, but that was a disaster—temps hit 100°C instantly and triggered a massive hardware slowdown. I felt totally defeated until I ripped apart my case airflow and set up a stepped fan response curve. Using RTSS, I watched the frame times collapse from a chaotic 18-45ms swing down to a tight 13-17ms. I did run into some annoying fan resonance noise at first, but bumping the minimum RPM to 800 RPM killed the vibration. Now the CPU stays between 75°C and 82°C, and after a two-hour marathon session, the throttling is dead. Memory temps are sitting steady at 58°C - 63°C, though the fan noise is still a bit audible.
