Is the RT500 TC ARGB causing lag in Splinter Cell Remake?
Every time I slipped from light into shadow, there was this tiny 0.2-second hitch that is absolutely lethal in a stealth game. The fan response curve on the PCcooler RT500 TC ARGB was way too sluggish, letting the CPU temp spike from 60℃ to 85℃ instantly, which triggered a brief clock speed dip. I tried setting the fans to full speed in the BIOS, but my case sounded like a damn helicopter and the stutters were still there—it was a total waste of time and honestly pretty stressful. I eventually went into the advanced settings and slashed the fan step response time from 2.0 seconds down to 0.5 seconds, while nudging the Vcore voltage to 1.28V. In RTSS, the frame time fluctuation shrank from 15-40ms to a tight 9-13ms, making everything feel fluid. After shortening the response time, the fans started 'hunting' (speeding up and slowing down constantly), so I added a 5℃ hysteresis to smooth it out. CPU temps now hover between 68-75℃. The input lag is gone, and the controls finally feel responsive.
