"My KingSpec 512GB (SM2259XT + Intel QLC) was hitting 92°C during game downloads. After flashing the hot fix firmware, max temp is 68°C. Write speed dropped 20%, but I don't care—the drive doesn't disconnect anymore."
User "SSD_Survivor" on USDev.ru:
"Tried the hot firmware on a Fanxiang 1TB. Initially, Windows didn't recognize it after flash – had to run a secure erase in MP Tool. Then it worked. Temperature idle from 58°C to 44°C. Worth the headache."
