Is my TiPro9000 4TB overheating in Cyberpunk 2077 Overdrive?
Night City looks insane in Overdrive mode, but after an hour, my frame rate starts looking like an EKG monitor; it was honestly making me want to smash my keyboard. I checked the sensors and the TiPro9000 was hitting 82-88℃, triggering a hard thermal throttle that crashed my read speeds from 7000MB/s down to 1500MB/s. I tried adding two more case fans to blow air on it, but the temp only dropped by 3℃—just a pathetic attempt. I finally bought an active M.2 heatsink with its own fan and set the Windows power plan 'Turn off hard disk after' to 0. The sensors now show the drive peaking at 58-64℃, and the frame drops are completely gone. I actually messed up the installation at first by over-tightening the screw, which slightly warped the motherboard, but a quick loosen and realign fixed the detection issue. Read speeds are now locked in at 6800-7200MB/s. I exported the registry tweaks via a snapshot tool, and the system response feels snappy again.
