My Samsung 9100 PRO 8TB keeps crashing due to thermal throttling during heavy loads in Callisto Protocol; why?

This 8TB beast handles PCIe 5.0 bandwidth like it's trying to self-combust; every half hour it would throttle and crash the game. The sensor panel showed core temps screaming from 40℃ to 82℃ in just ten minutes, triggering the hardware failsafe. I tried adding a small spot fan to the heatsink, but the heat was trapping inside the core—external fans are a joke against this kind of power draw. I went into the BIOS, disabled PCIe Link State Power Management, and shifted the drive's power state from 'Maximum Performance' to 'Balanced'. In CrystalDiskMark stress tests, read speeds dipped slightly from 12000MB/s to 10500MB/s, but temps stayed pinned at 65℃ - 72℃, and the crashes stopped. Initial load times increased by about 2 seconds, but in-game, it's unnoticeable—stability is the only thing that matters. Drive temps are now 62℃ - 68℃ and VRM is 55℃ - 60℃. Exported the config, and the input response feels crisp again.
