Fixing B240 cooling failure in Gray Zone Warfare?
The optimization in this game is a complete disaster, and using a 240mm AIO like the B240 feels like trying to put out a forest fire with a squirt bottle. After an hour of combat, the CPU blasted past 90℃, hitting the frequency wall and tanking my FPS from 70 down to 30. I tried lowering the resolution, but the game looked like a pixelated mess and the CPU was still boiling—just a waste of time. I went into the BIOS and switched the pump from 'Auto' to 100% full speed and cranked the top exhaust fans to max. RTSS showed my 1% lows recovering from 22 to 45-52 FPS. The high-pitched pump whine is now audible even through my headset, but I can live with it. Peak temps are now 82-86℃ and frame times are steady at 8-14ms. I saved the profile, but honestly, this game is just a thermal nightmare.
