How to stop Intel 760P from lagging in Helldivers 2?

It's honestly ridiculous that an Intel OEM drive would give me micro-stutters every five minutes in Helldivers 2. After checking the logs, it's the QLC NAND—once the SLC cache is tapped out, the speed crashes from 1500MB/s to a pathetic 300MB/s, and the frame times just explode. I tried enabling every 'storage acceleration' toggle in the BIOS, but it just caused a compatibility conflict and the system wouldn't even POST—super frustrating. I eventually manually set the virtual memory on the NVMe drive to a fixed 32GB and disabled Windows memory compression. In stress tests, the speed drops are still there (it's a QLC drive, after all), but the game stopped crashing entirely, and my 1% lows jumped from 20 to 45 FPS. I actually accidentally set the page file to my old HDD at first, which made loading times triple until I moved it back to the C drive. Temps are 35-45℃. Backed up the config and called it a day.
