Can I stop the Seagate FireCuda 530 from overheating in AC?
Let's be real: 500GB is a joke for modern AAA titles, and in a map as massive as Valhalla, my Seagate FireCuda 530 was basically fighting for its life. Whenever the read load spiked, the temps hit a brutal 75℃ ceiling according to HWiNFO, triggering a thermal throttle that sliced my speeds in half. I tried physically moving the SSD to a different slot, but it didn't help one bit. I ended up using the GamePP Fan Curve Config Panel to slave my motherboard's M.2 fan directly to the SSD temperature sensor—anything over 60℃ triggers full blast. Watching the temp curve drop from 75℃ to a stable 52-58℃ was satisfying, and the read speeds finally stayed above 5000MB/s.
