Is the Thermalright PA120 SE ARGB too slow for Phantom Blade Zero?
That suffocating feeling when the screen freezes for 0.2 seconds right in the middle of a fast-paced fight is a nightmare, especially against big bosses where the input lag becomes unbearable. Looking at the GamePP Hardware Sensor Page, the Thermalright PA120 SE fans were idling sluggishly between 1100-1300 RPM, allowing the CPU temp to rocket from 62°C to 91°C in just 3 seconds, which triggered an aggressive clock speed drop. My first instinct was to set the fans to 100% in the BIOS, but that was a joke; the noise sounded like a jet engine taking off, and the temps still hovered around 85°C. It was a total waste of time.
