My B240 pump is too slow to react in No Rest for the Wicked, causing temp spikes and FPS drops. Will locking it to max help?

Watching my FPS bounce between 60 and 40 like a heart monitor was driving me insane, especially after a few failed boss fights. The B240's default 'smart' pump mode has a 3-5 second delay when handling rapid power spikes, leaving my core temps swinging wildly between 70°C and 92°C. I tried dropping the CPU voltage by 0.05V in the BIOS, but the game just froze during big map loads—undervolting wasn't the answer. I went straight into the control panel and locked the pump speed to a constant 100%, while lowering the radiator fan trigger to 55°C. In RTSS, the frame time variance shrunk from a chaotic 15-45ms down to a tight 12-16ms. The smoothness is night and day. The only downside is the high-pitched pump whine at night, which I managed to mask by tweaking the radiator fans to 1200 RPM. Liquid temps are now 32-36°C and cores stay at 68-74°C. Stress tests confirm no more sudden drops; the input lag is finally gone.
