How to fix Samsung 9100 PRO thermal throttling in Spider-Man?
The texture pop-in on high-rise buildings is glaringly obvious when moving at high speeds. Because PCIe 5.0 runs scorching hot, my 9100 PRO hit 82-88℃ within three minutes, triggering a throttle that tanked speeds from 12000MB/s down to a pathetic 3000MB/s. I tried enabling 'Full Power Mode' in the software, but that was a disaster—temps shot past 90℃ and I got a BSOD immediately. That's when I realized cooling is everything. I swapped in an active cooling fan and changed the write cache policy to 'Force Flush'. Real-time monitoring showed read latency dropping from 45-60ns to 32-38ns, and textures now snap in instantly. I had some annoying resonance noise at first due to poor cable routing, but once I secured the radiator, it went silent. Temps now hover around 52-58℃ with power draw at 6.2-8.1W. After three stress loops, throughput is stable and NAND temps stay at 58-63℃.
