Is the B360 Core pump too slow for God of War Ragnarok?
In these massive combat scenes, the CPU load jumps from 40% to 100% instantly, causing temps to spike 12℃ in a single second. The B360 Core pump is way too slow in auto mode, letting temps peak between 88-94℃ and triggering instant throttling. I tried killing all background processes first, but the stutters didn't budge, which proved the issue was purely hardware response time. I went into the BIOS and forced the pump to 100% constant speed and tweaked the CPU voltage to 1.24V. RTSS showed the frame times tighten from a jumpy 12-35ms to a smooth 8-14ms. The pump started making this annoying high-pitched whine at 100%, so I backed it off to 90% to stop the noise. Temps now sit comfortably between 66-72℃. After three hours of testing, the stutters are gone and the 8-14ms frame time is rock solid, though the pump noise is still a bit noticeable.
