Optimizing Huntkey Blizzard T600 thermals for Frostpunk 2
Whenever I panned the camera across the crowded slum districts, the frame rate would plummet from 60 FPS to 25 FPS, which is jarring as hell. The Huntkey Blizzard T600 has a sluggish fan response time, lagging by 3-5 seconds during CPU temp spikes, letting the core hit 95°C before reacting. I first tried lowering the shadow quality, but while average FPS went up by 5, that gut-punching stutter remained—a band-aid solution that left me feeling anxious. I went into the BIOS, dropped the fan trigger temp to 60°C, and switched to a steep linear ramp-up curve. RTSS showed my 1% lows jump from 18 FPS to a much healthier 35-42 FPS. I did hit a snag where the max RPM caused a weird chassis resonance noise, which I only fixed after replacing the fan mounting clips. Now temps are stable at 74°C - 80°C, and the input response finally feels connected to my fingertips.
