Fixing the Huntkey Blizzard T600 thermal choke in MGS Delta
This was unbelievable—my CPU hit 96℃ in under ten minutes. It felt like my cooler was actively trying to cook my processor. The T600 just can't keep up with the multi-threaded madness of MGS Delta, causing my clocks to bounce wildly between 4.5GHz and 3.2GHz. I tried lowering the power limits, but that just cost me 15 FPS and the temps stayed high; a total waste of time. I eventually went into the BIOS, forced the PWM fans to full blast, and swapped the stock paste for a high-conductivity phase-change pad. My monitoring software showed full-load temps drop from 96℃ to 82-86℃, and the frequency swings finally stopped. At first, the fan noise was absolutely deafening, but capping the max speed at 2100 RPM found the sweet spot. CPU temps now sit at 80-84℃ and VRMs are at 62-68℃. I exported the temp curves to my logs, and the fans are now humming steadily at 1400-1600 RPM. It's finally playable.
