Is the Biostar B550MH overheating in Metro Exodus Enhanced?
Seeing my core temps bounce right on the edge of 98℃ was giving me serious anxiety, as it caused the frame rate to swing wildly between 30 and 60 FPS. The Biostar B550MH has a ridiculously aggressive default voltage strategy, and during the complex lighting calcs of the Enhanced Edition, power spikes were hitting 140W, slamming right into the thermal wall. I tried lowering the resolution, but that just gave me a blurry mess while the temps stayed sky-high—a total waste of time. I eventually went into the BIOS and set a negative CPU core voltage offset of -0.05V. In my stress tests, temps dropped from that scary 98-102℃ range down to 78-84℃. I actually tried -0.10V first, but the system just blue-screened during the loading screen. After some trial and error at -0.07V, I settled on -0.05V for actual stability. P-Cores are now stable at 4.2-4.4GHz and E-Cores at 3.5GHz. Cinebench R23 is clean, and the input lag is finally gone.
