How to fix Samsung 9100 PRO 8TB scheduling issues in FF16 PC?
Every time a massive summon attacks, the game hitches. It's a basic scheduling flaw that's just infuriating. The Samsung 9100 PRO pushes PCIe 5.0 so hard that the motherboard's VRMs were seeing voltage drops of 0.08V during current spikes, causing my CPU to bounce wildly between 3.8GHz and 4.5GHz. I tried enabling Ultimate Performance mode in Windows, but that just pushed my CPU to 96℃ and triggered thermal throttling—a total disaster. I went into the BIOS, set Load-Line Calibration to Mode 3, and manually nudged Vcore to 1.28V. In Cinebench R23, my multi-core score jumped by 600 points and the frequency curve finally flattened out. I actually failed to boot the first time I tried Mode 3, so I had to offset the voltage by 0.01V to get it stable. CPU temps are 76-82℃ and the SSD is at 58-64℃. I've backed up the BIOS profile, but I'm keeping a close eye on the VRM temps.
