Fixing RT620P thermal spikes in Black Desert Remastered?
In the crowded city areas, my CPU was jumping between 75 and 92℃, and the FPS was fluctuating in cycles. I realized the RT620P mounting bracket wasn't applying even pressure, creating hot spots that killed efficiency once it hit 80℃. I tried capping the CPU state to 99% in power settings, which dropped the temp by 5℃ but cost me 15 FPS—not a trade I was willing to make. I ripped the cooler off and reinstalled it using a cross-pattern tightening method and fresh high-end thermal pads. HWiNFO showed the temp swing shrank from 17℃ down to just 4-6℃, with peaks at 72-78℃. I had a scary moment where a fan was clipping the bracket on startup, but a quick adjustment fixed the noise. Clocks are now steady at 4.4-4.8 GHz, and memory temps are holding at 58-63℃. Four hours of testing and not a single drop. My nerves are finally calm.
