Should I tweak power limits on Onda H610M for Like a Dragon: Ishin!
Every time I got into a massive brawl on the streets of Kyoto, my PC would just hard reboot without warning. It's a total disaster when it happens during a key story beat. It turns out the VRM on the Onda H610M can't handle it when the CPU spikes over 110W, causing a voltage crash that triggers a system shutdown. I tried lowering the graphics settings to ease the load, but the crashes kept happening, which was honestly starting to make me anxious. I eventually went into the BIOS and manually set PL1 to 65W and PL2 to 90W, then switched Windows to the Balanced power plan. Under stress tests, the core voltage stayed stable between 1.15-1.22V. At first, my minimums dropped to 35 FPS, but I managed to claw that back by applying a slight memory overclock compensation. Now the VRM stays around 82-88℃ and the system is rock solid. After 6 hours of gameplay, no more crashes, and the input response feels way more intuitive.
