Isn't MSI afterburner highly dependent on Rivatuner statistics server? Rivatuner Statistics server has some settings that cause some games to not run because it interferes with the DRM on certain games. It wouldn't be out of norm for the base settings to cause slowdowns or failure to execute.

EDIT2: I checked at 10pm, and the number is at 1170036988.. so supposedly 8GB was written to the SSD. From what I have no idea.
here are some stats from Crystal Disk info on my system drive.

Power On Hours : 41961 hours
Power On Count : 413 count
Host Reads : 23616 GB
Host Writes : 72556 GB
NAND Writes : 18421 GB

my total write count after nearly 5 years is about 80tb on a 240gb drive, with a health state of about 56%.

usage rates may vary as I am just a gamer. Don't even do crypto. No coding work done on the system, and nothing logs into the system really, maybe the UPS software or universal media server.

Other disk usage monitoring can be done in win10 under taskmanager performance tab, open resource monitor, disk tab.

process with disk activity is the most relevant window. after that, knowledge of the various processes would be important.
