Dealing with Fanxiang S910PRO 2TB overheating in Call of Duty 2026

Every time I drop into a massive Warzone map, the drive hits 85-92℃, triggering a hard throttle that freezes the game entirely. The PCIe 5.0 throughput on the S910PRO is insane, but the heat is just ridiculous. I tried capping the PCIe link to 4.0 in BIOS; temps dropped to 60℃, but load times jumped from 3 to 8 seconds, which felt like a huge step backward. I eventually rigged a small dedicated fan to blow directly on the M.2 heatsink and set the Windows disk timeout to 0. HWInfo showed full-load temps dropping from 88℃ to a stable 65-72℃, and the throttling stopped. The fan was deafening at first, but I tweaked the fan curve to a stepped profile to kill the noise. Random reads are now steady at 110-130MB/s with 18-25ms response times. It's finally rock steady, and the input lag is gone.
