Is the Fanxiang S910Max 1TB overheating during high-speed loads?

Seeing my frame rate plummet from 120 FPS down to 40 FPS is brutal, especially when moving fast through the environment. Looking at the telemetry, the Fanxiang S910Max 1TB controller was hitting 82 ℃ during full-tilt read/writes, triggering a hard thermal throttle that crushed the speed. I tried lowering texture quality in-game, but the stuttering persisted, which made me realize this was a pure hardware heat issue. I went into the BIOS and set the M.2 fan curve to an aggressive profile, forcing the fans to max out at 3000 RPM once the drive hits 60 ℃. Monitoring via HWInfo, the peak temps are now capped between 65 - 72 ℃, keeping the read speeds steady at 10000 MB/s. To be honest, the fans sounded like a damn power drill at first, but I managed to tame it by dropping the sub-40 ℃ speed to 800 RPM. The controller now stays in the 55 - 62 ℃ range. Stress tests confirm the throttling is gone, though my RAM is still idling a bit warm at 58 - 63 ℃.
