Is the Valkyrie V360 MERLIN failing in Resident Evil 9?
Walking through those creepy hallways in RE9, I kept glancing at my monitor and seeing CPU temps swing from 70-95℃, which made my frame rate a mess. The V360 MERLIN pump is just too slow to react by default, letting heat soak the cold plate before the radiator can dump it. I tried pinning the pump to 100%, but the high-pitched whine was unbearable in a quiet room. Instead, I set up a linked profile: 80% pump speed at 65℃ and 100% at 80℃. After two hours of stress testing, the peak temp stayed between 78-83℃ with zero frame drops. I actually had a scare where the pump stopped entirely during low loads due to a software conflict, but a clean driver reinstall sorted it. Coolant temps are now stable at 32-38℃ with fans at 1200 RPM. AIDA64 confirms RAM stays around 58-63℃.
