Fixing Fanxiang S910Max compatibility issues in Valorant?
It's absolutely ridiculous—I bought a top-tier PCIe 5.0 drive and it crashes more than my old Gen3 disk. The Fanxiang S910Max has these random I/O checksum errors when shaking hands with some Gen5 motherboard links, leading to full kernel crashes. The trial-and-error process was pure torture. I tried disabling Fast Boot in Windows, but that just added 5 seconds to my boot time and the crashes still happened every two hours—a total waste of time. I finally updated to the latest BIOS and manually locked the PCIe link to Gen4 mode. I sacrificed some peak speed for absolute stability. In a 24-hour stability test, I had zero crashes. Reads dropped to 7000MB/s, but it's a thousand times better than a crashing PC. I almost bricked it at first by setting a wrong voltage offset, but resetting to defaults fixed it. Temps are now 48-55℃, and the heatsink is doing its job. Exported the config, and everything is stable at 48-55℃.
