The Division's intense combat is causing core scheduling issues on my i5 13490F, leading to instant stutters.

Every time I pop a skill with massive explosions, my frame rate tanks from 90 FPS down to 35 FPS instantly, which is honestly nerve-wracking. The i5 13490F was showing a 200ms response lag during load switching, with CPU usage bouncing violently between 60% and 95%. I tried ramping my fans to 100% via software, but it just made my PC sound like a jet engine for a measly 2℃ drop—totally frustrating. I went into the BIOS, swapped the power management from Balanced to High Performance, and set a manual core voltage offset of +0.015V. Checking HWInfo, the clocks finally stabilized between 4.5-4.8GHz, and the drops vanished. I actually overshot the voltage on my first try and triggered a thermal shutdown, so I had to dial it back by 0.01V to get it stable. Now the CPU sits at 72-80℃ and the VRMs are at 68-74℃. A ten-minute combat stress test confirms the frequency curve is finally flat.
