How to fix overheating for Samsung 9100 PRO 2TB in Wuthering Waves?
During high-intensity combat swaps, the screen would just freeze for about 0.4 seconds. It's a tiny glitch, but it completely kills the rhythm of the fight. I checked my monitors and saw the Samsung 9100 PRO 2TB hitting 82℃ within 10 seconds of full PCIe 5.0 load, triggering the thermal throttling mechanism. I tried a 'Power Saving' mode in the driver, but that just made loading times 30% longer—a compromise I wasn't willing to make. I re-installed the OEM heatsink and added a small 4cm fan blowing directly onto the M.2 slot, then disabled the PCIe power management in the BIOS. Max temps now hover around 62-68℃, and speeds stay locked above 10GB/s. The fan caused a bit of an annoying resonance hum at first, but dropping the RPM to 1500 fixed the noise. CPU temps are steady at 60-66℃. Stress tests show zero speed fluctuations now.
