Crimson Desert is stuttering during large scene loads on my H310CM-ITX/ac; can I fix this?

Trying to run Crimson Desert's 4K textures on this ancient board was like trying to drink a milkshake through a straw. The chipset hit 102℃ within ten minutes, causing SATA read speeds to plummet from 500 MB/s to a pathetic 80 MB/s. The game basically turned into a slideshow, which was honestly laughable. I tried lowering the texture quality, but the game looked like a PS2 title, so that was a non-starter. I ended up zip-tying a tiny 4cm fan directly onto the chipset heatsink and forced the power plan to High Performance. In CrystalDiskMark, random read latency dropped from 120 ms to 45-52 ms, and load times were cut in half. I actually messed up and bumped the RAM sticks while installing the fan, which caused a boot failure, but a quick reseat fixed it. Chipset temps are now locked at 68-74℃. I exported the performance logs, and the I/O drops are gone.
