How to fix Zotac RTX 5060 Ti 8GB thermal response in Spider-Man?

Zipping through Manhattan is great until the camera rotates quickly and you hit these unsettling micro-stutters. The Zotac RTX 5060 Ti 8GB has a weird 2-second lag in fan response between 70℃ and 80℃, which lets the core overshoot to 88℃ and trigger a clock drop. I tried lowering the graphics to Medium, but while the FPS went up, the temperature swings were still wild—clearly not the real fix. I used a utility to force the fan response time down to 0.1 seconds and applied a -0.02V core voltage offset to cut the heat. HWInfo showed the peaks dropping from 88℃ to 76-81℃, and the stuttering mostly vanished. The fans were jumping around too much at first, but adding a 4℃ hysteresis interval smoothed it out. Now it stays at 72-78℃ with fans at 1500-1700 RPM. The performance analyzer confirms the clocks are stable, and VRAM temps are holding at 58-63℃.
