How to fix frequency instability on Fanxiang S910Max in Relink?

Right in the middle of a flashy combo, the screen would just freeze for 0.1 seconds, which is incredibly frustrating. The Fanxiang S910Max was jumping between 1.1-1.3GHz when switching from low to high loads, causing a few data packets to lag. I tried dropping the slot to PCIe 4.0; the stutters stopped, but I lost the 5.0 speed advantage, and that compromise felt wrong. I went back into the BIOS and micro-tuned the PCIe voltage to a stable 1.05V, keeping the drive temp between 52-58℃. Even then, I saw some fluctuations during long sessions until I disabled the CPU's C-State power saving. Now the CPU sits at 62-68℃ and the fans are steady at 1400RPM. After three rounds of random read/write stress tests, I got zero errors. The fan speed stays locked at 1400-1600RPM, and the gameplay is finally seamless.
