Performed a test with Steel Nomad DX12 using stock configurations and wasn’t particularly impressed by the results. Adjusted my power limit up to the maximum allowed increase of 15%. Ran another session, achieving a better score and reducing the load hotspot delta from a high of 17-18°C at 320W to 21-22°C at 378W. The temperatures were 65/87 (average/hotspot) with the higher power setting. I prefer not to repaste but will take necessary actions if needed.

Did you raise the power limit? Did you adjust the clock speeds or run an undervolt?
List the specifications for your build in the following format:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
Include the PSU age along with its make and model.
Current BIOS version for your motherboard.
What are the ambient room air temperatures?
This Reddit post could be interesting.
