How to fix the Intel 760P 512GB read stability in Control 2?
That feeling of the loading bar freezing at 95% is the worst. I realized the SLC cache was just bottoming out. When the Intel 760P hits massive 50GB+ asset writes, the speed crashes from 3000MB/s down to a pathetic 800-1100MB/s. I tried some third-party defrag tools first, but that was a mistake—write latency jumped to 90ms and it felt even laggier. I finally grabbed the latest official firmware and manually set the write buffer to 4GB. In AIDA64, random writes climbed from 30-45MB/s to 65-80MB/s, cutting scene transitions by 35%. The drive actually disappeared from BIOS for a second after the update, but a quick M.2 reseat fixed it. It's running cool now at 45-53℃. AIDA64 confirms the instruction sets are synced, and my RAM temps are hovering around 58-63℃.
