How to stop the Jonsbo CR-1400E from choking in TLOU Part I?
This cooler is fine for office work, but against a poorly optimized beast like TLOU, it let my temps hit 97℃—absolutely pathetic. My CPU clocks crashed from 4.8GHz to 3.0GHz, turning stealth combat into a slow-motion movie. I tried limiting the processor state to 90%, but I lost 20 FPS, which was a complete waste of time. I eventually ripped it off, applied a high-end 13W/m.K thermal paste, and set the fan curve to hit 100% at 70℃. In Cinebench R23, the peak temps were finally pinned between 84-88℃, and the clock variance dropped to 150MHz. The noise is the real problem now; it sounds like a desk fan on steroids until it drops below 60℃. Even at 90% load, the clocks stay high. I exported the fan parameters from the BIOS for backup, and RAM temps are holding at 58-63℃, but this cooler is barely enough for this game.
