Is the Intel 760P 1TB too slow for Wuthering Waves?
Trying to run a modern open world on a 760P is like trying to write code on an old typewriter—it's laughably slow. The random read/write performance just can't keep up with Wuthering Waves' constant requests, with response times spiking to 80-110ms, often leaving me staring at a black screen. I even tried installing the game on a RAM disk, but I ran out of capacity and the whole thing crashed midway—a desperate move that taught me I had to fix the drive itself. I ran a two-hour random R/W stress test and saw HWInfo report temps hitting 65-72℃, which triggered thermal throttling and cut my speeds in half. I killed every single background update service and set the power plan to 'Ultimate Performance'. In CrystalDiskMark, random reads climbed from 30 MB/s to 42-48 MB/s, shaving about 5 seconds off load times. My idle power draw went up by 2W, but a scheduled sleep timer fixed that. Temps are now 45-52℃, and fan speeds are steady at 1400-1600RPM.
