Dragon's Dogma 2 peak loads cause interface handshake lag, isn't it better to plug straight into the board dodging bottlenecks for faster transfers?

Command line checks showed handshake delays choking bandwidth during heavy Dragon's Dogma 2 scenes on my YMTC ZhiTai TiPro9000 4TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD slots, hammered by data streams pushing utilization close to limits. Early memory timing drift slowed frame buffer writes, so I flashed firmware, retrained link parameters, restoring signal integrity across the board. Fan logic rewritten, capping noise safely during pushes. Riser cables caused impedance errors, swapping to direct slot mounting dropped latency to zero. Power curves climbed smoothly, locking clocks to baselines. Overall responsiveness jumped, eliminating tears in heavy rendering. Isn't direct mounting the smartest dodge for choke points? Renegotiated handshakes cleared paths with sensor feeds reporting perfectly. PSU thermals stayed steady, never tripping protection in marathon runs. Yet even with the optimization, peripheral install static risks remain. Community reminders stress careful handling during connections. This direct slot approach really gave me more confidence in heavy load transfers.
