CRAS C910

I don't see how the CPU getting stuck at 80c for extended periods would cause heat damage to the NVME drive unless the drive was literally on top of the CPU. If there was any actual heat damage due to the CPU being pegged at 80c, it would be with the CPU, not the SSD, and you'd be having way more is

The crucial e100 is genuinely a borderline scam tier product, that ssd does within just a few months of use. Get something more reliable like the klevv cras c910

change the cpu. 9600x is newer, better, less tdp, and with that easier to cool.dont worry about any bottlenecks. the 9600x and the 9060 xt with 16gb are really good for 1440p, though i gotta give you a disclaimer on it, probably in some games you have to play around with the graphics.if the pc is ga
