End NVMe Thermal Throttling
It was unbelievable that a top-tier SSD would trigger thermal throttling; the village center caused temps to spike to 86℃ in 3 seconds. I tried enabling power-saving mode in the BIOS, which lowered the temp by 5℃ but increased loading times by 4 seconds—totally counterproductive. I used the GamePP Hardware Sensor to analyze heat, then adjusted NVMe queue concurrency from 1024 to 2048. CrystalDiskMark tests showed stable random reads at 65-78MB/s, and HWiNFO confirmed temps stabilized at 62-68℃.
