Is the Fanxiang S910Max 2TB thermal throttling in Cyberpunk 2077?
Whenever I hit the crowded areas of Night City, my read speeds would dive from 10000MB/s to 3000MB/s, which is just stressful. The S910Max 2TB runs insanely hot because of the PCIe 5.0 interface, hitting 85-90℃ within three minutes and forcing a throttle. I tried setting the virtual memory to half my free space, but that just made the read/write conflicts worse in an open-world setting. I eventually gave up and installed an active cooling fan and switched the write cache policy to 'Force Flush'. In CrystalDiskMark, my 4K random writes jumped from 45-55MB/s to 68-75MB/s, and the hitching stopped. I did have a slight resonance vibration issue with the fan at first, but a bit of cable management and a tighter radiator mount fixed it. Now it stays between 55-62℃ with response times locked at 25-31ms. The system logs are finally clean of write errors at 25-31ms.
