Why does the Biostar B550MH stutter during intense fights?

During those chaotic dinosaur charges, I noticed my frame rate was bouncing violently between 85 and 42 FPS, which is an absolute nightmare for any technical player. Checking HWiNFO, the VRM temps were hovering between 82-88℃, and the Vcore was jumping from 1.15V to 1.32V—a textbook case of power phase response lag. I first tried enabling Ultimate Performance mode in Windows, but it only added 3 FPS while making the stutters more frequent; a total waste of time. I then dove into the BIOS Advanced Power settings, switched the Load-Line Control from Auto to Medium, and manually set the Vcore offset to +0.025V. On the HWiNFO real-time graph, the clock speed finally flattened out between 4.2-4.4GHz, and the stuttering vanished. I actually messed up the first time and pushed the voltage to 1.4V, which triggered an instant overheat shutdown. After dialing it back, CPU temps stayed at 68-75℃ and VRMs dropped to 74-78℃. A 15-minute stress test confirmed a smooth curve with frame times locked at 5.1-6.4ms. It's rock steady now.
