How to unlock power limits on Zhitai TiPro9000 for Sword Fairy 7?
This TiPro9000 was basically strolling through the asset loads in the upgraded Sword Fairy 7; the speed drops were so bad it felt like a joke for a PCIe 4.0 drive. HWInfo showed that after reading about 10GB of data, the controller triggered an aggressive throttling policy, crashing from 7000MB/s down to 1200MB/s, which made the screen twitch. I tried the motherboard's auto-boost mode, but the SSD temp spiked to 82℃ and forced a system reboot—that was a wake-up call about how bad my thermals were. I manually changed the PCIe power limit from Auto to Maximum and forced the M.2 fan to 90% once it hit 60℃. Looking at the monitors, read speeds stayed locked between 6500-6800MB/s, and frame times tightened from a messy 20-40ms to a stable 12-16ms. To be fair, the fan now sounds like a miniature vacuum cleaner, but after adding a startup delay, it's tolerable. Controller voltage is steady at 0.95-1.02V with temps at 68-74℃. I exported all the logs via performance tools, and the fan is now humming along at 1400-1600RPM.
