My RT500 TC ARGB is struggling in Neverness combat, causing temp spikes and lag. How do I fix this?

Those tiny hitches during high-speed traversal completely ruined the immersion for me. Digging through the hardware logs, I saw the PCCOOLER RT500 TC ARGB was struggling with heavy compute loads, with core temps swinging violently between 88-95℃. This caused my frame times to jump erratically between 12ms and 35ms. My first instinct was to enable the 'High Performance' power plan in Windows, but that just pushed temps to 98℃ and triggered more throttling—a total disaster. I realized I had to fix the physical airflow, so I tweaked the intake-to-exhaust ratio of my case fans and remounted the cooler base using the cross-pressure method to ensure a flat contact. Monitoring via RTSS, the core temps dropped from 92℃ to a much healthier 76-82℃, and frame time variance tightened to 11-15ms. I actually messed up the thermal paste application once, causing a temp spike, but a second pass with the cross-method fixed it. The CPU now sits at 80℃ with fans at 1800 RPM. After 5 hours of gaming, the stutters are gone and RAM temps stay between 58-63℃.
