Managing PCIe 5.0 SSD Heat
Exploring the Ishimura's corridors, I felt anxious as I noticed loading speeds slowly dropping the longer I played. I tried downgrading the PCIe version to 4.0 in BIOS; while it lowered temps, it halved my read speeds, which felt like a defeat. Using the GamePP Hardware Sensor, I identified a 4s response lag and used the fan curve panel to boost the M.2 fan to 3200 RPM. Read speeds stabilized at 10000-12000MB/s per CrystalDiskMark, with temperatures at 55-62℃ per AIDA64.
