Is the Cooler Master B240 enough for late-game Manor Lords?
As my manor grew, the CPU load skyrocketed, and that feeling of achievement was quickly replaced by plummeting frame rates. The default pump strategy on the B240 just isn't cut out for sustained high loads, with core temps hitting 86-91℃ and causing severe clock fluctuations. I tried enabling power-saving mode in BIOS, which saved 4℃ but made the simulation speed painfully slow. I went into the motherboard software, switched the pump from 'Smart' to 'Performance' mode, and lowered the radiator fan trigger threshold to 50℃. AIDA64 showed the peak temps drop from 91℃ to 66-72℃, and the FPS jitter vanished. I did have some annoying pump resonance at first, but tightening the radiator mounting screws solved it. Water temps now stay between 30-34℃. The performance panel confirms the mode switch worked perfectly.
