Is a high core temp delta on DeepCool AK500 a problem in Remnant 2?

Whenever I'd unleash a big skill, my FPS would randomly drop from 75 to 45, which made combat feel incredibly janky. The sensors showed a delta of 15-22℃ between cores, meaning the DeepCool AK500 base wasn't sitting flush against the IHS. I initially tried undervolting in the BIOS to lower the heat, but while the average temp went down, the delta remained huge—it was a band-aid fix that left me feeling pretty frustrated. I ended up ripping the cooler off, cleaning the factory gunk, and swapping it for high-performance liquid metal. I also used the diagonal tightening method on the brackets to ensure perfectly even pressure. After booting back into the game, the core delta shrank to 4-7℃ and FPS stabilized between 70-78. I actually messed up the second install by over-tightening and slightly warping the motherboard, but I backed off the screws and it leveled out. Full load temps now sit at 72-78℃. No more single-core throttling, finally.
