Is it possible to make an SSD throttling at lower temperatures?

There is a Kioxia kbg40zns256g SSD. Actually, if you start actively writing information to it, it heats up to 79 degrees, then turns on throttling. I'm not satisfied with 79 degrees: somehow it's too hot. Is it possible to force an SSD to turn on throttling at, say, 65? Let it work slower, but it heats up less.

All consumables, so don't worry. Your ssd will work well, let's say a year. 1000 rubles per month. This is an hour or less of your work.

No.
I'm not happy with 79 degrees
Not satisfied - buy another drive, or cool this one.

You write everything correctly, temperature has a bad effect on memory chips. 79 degrees is a bit too much, the main manufacturers have a performance reduction threshold of 70 degrees.
However, I do not think that it will be possible to do something easily and quickly. I do not rule out that you can try to examine the firmware of your SSD to see if this parameter can be changed. You need to do this yourself, or look for people who are fond of such research.
In addition, it remains to be seen whether it will be possible to upload the modified firmware to the drive at all, and also whether it will turn into a brick after that.
And try to write in support to the manufacturer (most likely in English) - suddenly they will answer something sensible. If they report something on the topic, please let me know, I would also be interested to hear.
PS
As a "crutch" option - keep a program like https://openhardwaremonitor.org/ in the tray and manually limit the load when you see that the temperature has risen above the same 65 degrees.
You can also try setting up an alert for exceeding this limit.
