Fix CPU Hotspots in ARK: Survival
I was incredibly distracted during dungeon missions when skill effects caused severe screen tearing. I first tried increasing the chassis intake airflow, but the noise spiked while CPU temperatures barely budged, leaving me feeling helpless. I used the GamePP Hardware Sensor page to locate the hotspot and forced the fan from 1100-1300 to a constant 2000 RPM. I also tightened the mounting brackets. After this, the Frame Time Analyzer showed convergence to 13-16ms, and HWMonitor confirmed temperatures stabilized at 64-69℃, while AIDA64 showed the 87-93℃ hotspot was gone. Now it's a fix
