How to stop Fanxiang S910Max 2TB from throttling in Star Wars Outlaws?
It's unbelievable that a top-tier PCIe 5.0 drive just gives up during fast travel, turning the game into a slideshow. Analysis showed the Fanxiang S910Max controller hitting 82°C under heavy load, triggering a forced throttle that spiked I/O response from 1ms to over 100ms. I first tried enabling 'Extreme Performance' in the BIOS, but the temp shot up to 88°C and the whole system rebooted—that was a complete joke of a solution. I then opened the GamePP NVMe Queue Depth Config, set the concurrent queues to a stable 1024, and optimized the write cache flush to lower the controller's stress. The fluidity finally returned, and the freezing stopped.
