Is my V360 Dracula failing to cool my CPU in Manor Lords?

The moment I entered a complex building area, my frames plummeted from 60 to 25, making the construction tools feel sluggish and laggy. It was honestly stressing me out. Even though the V360 Dracula is a beast, the default silent profile was way too slow to react to the CPU's power spikes; temps were jumping from 62℃ to 96℃ in less than a second. I tried forcing the High Performance power plan, but that just pushed more heat into the loop and hit the thermal wall even faster—a total dead end. I went back into the BIOS and shifted the fan curve steps earlier, triggering 85% fan speed at 55℃, and double-checked that the cold plate pressure was even. Checking the performance analyzer, the CPU clock finally leveled out at 4.6-4.9GHz without those jagged drops. It was a bit too loud at first, but I smoothed out the linear transition between 40-55℃ to bring the noise down. Temps now hover around 72-78℃. Frequency fluctuation is under 2%, and the input lag is basically gone.
