Rather genius tbh, this is what Gen5 SSDs will no doubt be incorporating. Stick with your Gen 3 and 4 drives for now, wait for the generational leap. Can smash out those IOPs and GB/s when there's no throttling to keep under control lol

PCWorld at CES did a test:

The standard passively cooled version of the Sabrent SSD scored a respectable 1216.33MBps using the Iometer benchmarking tool, averaging 62 degrees Celsius while doing so. But the AirJet Mini-equipped version hit a whooping 2990.35MBps at a frosty 42 degrees Celsius.

 
That is pretty crazy speeds! I wonder how much of a limiting factor current SSD hardware is at for gaming and other higher load use that they would require this sort of speed.
 
Gaming would be zero limiting factor, no game out currently uses close to even 3500MB/s read speeds (gen 3), and read speeds don't really put any throttle-bound workloads onto an SSD anyway. These types of solutions are for heavy writes and Gen 5 drives that naturally run much hotter and need it anyway really.
