Throttling issues and temperature changes are common problems.
Throttling issues and temperature changes are common problems.
Recent upgrades with these components have led to noticeable CPU temperature changes. High temps were resolved by reapplying thermal paste and securing the heat sink more firmly. Now I experience occasional spikes, causing fans to speed up and slow down repeatedly, which affects performance and focus during gameplay. This issue is frustrating, especially when I can hear the fans reacting while playing. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Adjust your own fan curve or choose a quieter setting. I keep mine at 1400rpm and it’s almost inaudible. Using a cooler master 212 LED gives better performance.
Open Bios, press F6 to enter settings. Create a profile manually or select a preset, save it with F10, then restart the system.
Increasing the CPU fan speed should halt this throttling. Your idle temperatures are about 40-45°C and reach 70°C during gaming.
I noticed I didn't catch that earlier. You can increase the RPM at cooler temperatures to maintain a smooth fan gradient. At 70°C it will remain at 100% regardless of adjustments. This is the high temperature warning from the CPU. The system won't power down until the temperature drops below 70°C.
