Solving Kioxia EXCERIA PRO channel load issues in Scarlet Nexus
The channel management on this thing is a joke. During high-speed combat in Scarlet Nexus, the PCIe 4.0 load distribution was all over the place, leaving the CPU waiting for data and causing obvious frame drops. I tried increasing the page file size, which actually made the response time worse—totally illogical. I went into the BIOS, switched the PCIe power mode to 'High Performance', and locked the bus frequency to the base clock for absolute stability. My monitor showed a 10% bump in random read bandwidth, and FPS went from a shaky 40-58 to a steady 52-60. I tried a reckless motherboard bus overclock early on which caused constant storage checksum errors; it took four CMOS clears and a lot of patience to get it stable. The M.2 area hits 60-65℃ under load, but the system is finally stable. I've exported this config so I never have to deal with this again. Interface temp is holding at 60-65℃.
