Overcoming Thermal Throttling in Metro Exodus Benchmarks
Checking Report-ID 202603D on Windows 11; using professional R/W utilities, I observed temperatures fluctuating between 65℃ and 72℃ during initial loading, with a sharp peak of 86℃ triggering thermal throttling. Instead of tweaking firmware, I physically modified the chassis by adding an airflow duct to force ambient air directly over the SSD heatsink. Subsequent R/W curves showed incredible stability, with variance narrowing to under 3%, ending the oppressive anxiety that the drive was about to fry. The system feel became snappy once more. It is worth noting that under extreme saturation, a 5% slowdown still occurs due to controller limits, which is a slight glitch, but it is far better than before. Comparing with peer benchmarks, the performance deviation is within 3%, finally providing empirical data that feels rock steady.
