My dachshund does this. Can somebody link me to a firmware update?

I'd switch the Samsung 970 SSD for a 980 pro. It has been on sale for $60 here in the US and you'll get faster speeds with its PCIe 4. https://versus.com/en/samsung-970-evo-plus-1tb-vs-samsung-980-pro-1tb

Edit: Also, this is my personal preference so take it as you may, but I got so sick of AIOs clogging/pumps dying and Noctua makes air coolers that are very nearly as effective around the same price range.

Performance would also depend on if your x16 slots are PCIe gen 3 or gen 4. Gen 4 is backwards compatible, but don't overspend on gen 4 SSDs if your mobo is only gen 3.
