Fixing Intel 760P 512GB read/write issues in Dead Space 2
Every time there's a patch, my write speed tanks from 3000MB/s to 500MB/s. It's pathetic. Once the Intel 760P's SLC cache is gone, the TLC performance is just abysmal, leaving the loading screen stuck at 99%. I tried formatting the drive and re-partitioning it, which was a huge mistake that wasted an hour of my life backing up data. I finally went into Device Manager, set the power plan to 'High Performance,' and used the Intel tool to kill redundant background scans. In CrystalDiskMark, the sequential write range stabilized from a wild 500-3000MB/s to a more consistent 1200-2800MB/s. Load times dropped by 30%. The drive ran 5℃ hotter after the power change, so I had to tweak my fan curves to keep it at 45℃. Temps are 40-55℃ now. Everything is backed up.
