Does the Samsung 9100 PRO 2TB trigger thermal throttling during monster hordes in MH Wilds?

When a massive swarm of monsters hits the screen, my frame rate would tank from 110 FPS to 40 FPS, which is just soul-crushing. The Samsung 9100 PRO 2TB is a PCIe 5.0 beast, but it hits 82℃ - 88℃ under full load, triggering the controller's thermal throttling and cutting the bandwidth in half. I tried enabling power-saving mode in the BIOS, but while it dropped the temp by 5 degrees, the load times became unbearable—totally unacceptable. I ended up stripping the drive and swapping in higher-grade thermal pads, then disabled 'PCI Express Link State Power Management' in the Windows power options. HWInfo showed the peak temp dropped from 85℃ to a manageable 62℃ - 68℃, and the FPS drops vanished. I actually messed up the first pad installation and saw a 2-degree increase, but a proper re-tightening of the screws fixed it. Sequential reads are now locked at 12000MB/s. System panels confirm the mode switch worked, and the drive stays at 62℃ - 68℃.
