Should I limit power draw for the Jonsbo CR-1400E in Atomic Heart?
Every time I entered a complex industrial zone, the game would just vanish and dump me back to the desktop without any error message—it was incredibly frustrating. The Jonsbo CR-1400E ARGB just couldn't keep up with the transient power spikes, and my CPU temps were hitting 96-98℃, causing the core voltage to wobble by about 0.05V. I tried 'Power Saver' mode in Windows, but that tanked my FPS to 30, which is a joke. Instead, I dove into the BIOS and capped the CPU power limit (PL1/PL2) at 65W and moved the fan trigger point from 60℃ down to 40℃. Running AIDA64's FPU stress test, the rig actually survived three hours without a reboot, staying between 78-84℃. I almost bricked my board trying to flash a third-party microcode before this, and I had to use the CMOS jumper to bring it back to life. Now it sits at 75-82℃ with fans at 1800 RPM. Crashes are gone, but the lower power ceiling is a necessary evil.
