GW3500 Thermal Throttling Fix
After two hours of base building, my FPS plummeted from 90 to 30 with visible texture lag, as HWiNFO showed temperatures peaking at 75-82℃. I tried adding a small chassis fan to blow directly on the SSD; temperature dropped 4℃, but drops still occurred randomly, proving physical cooling didn't fix the logic. I used GamePP Power Plan Switcher to disable PCIe Link State Power Management and set to High Performance. CrystalDiskMark showed speeds stabilized at 3200MB/s, and AIDA64 confirmed temperatures settled at 52-60℃.
