Is the Fanxiang S910PRO 2TB overheating in God of War?
Right when a massive boss charges at the screen, my frames would plummet from 110 to 40, which is a total mood killer. The Fanxiang S910PRO 2TB has insane PCIe 5.0 speeds, but it runs hot—hitting 82-88℃ under load, which triggers the thermal throttle and halves the bandwidth. I tried a BIOS power-saving tweak, but while it dropped the temp by 5 degrees, the load times became unbearable. I ended up replacing the stock thermal pads with high-performance ones and disabled PCIe Link State Power Management. HWInfo showed the peak temp drop from 85℃ to 62-68℃, and the frame drops vanished. I actually had a bit of a struggle with the first pad installation—it wasn't sitting flat, and temps actually went up by 2 degrees until I tightened the screws properly. Now, sequential reads are locked at 10000MB/s. The read/write mode switch is finally confirmed in the performance panel, but this drive requires a beefy cooler to stay stable.
