Ssd temps question
Due to my anxiety, ive been keeping an obsessive eye on my ssd temps. I have an MSI Spatium m450 1tb and a Samsung 990EVO 2tb. The MSI sits at pretty much 53c all the time (it sits above my gpu). The Samsung (which sits right below my gpu) has three temps in HWINFO64:

Those are the temps at idle and when gaming, the second temp gets around 76c. Yesterday while downloading Remnant 2 ( an 80gb game), the second temp hit 86c, then dropped and stayed below 82c for the rest of the download. Should I be worried? Neither have a heatsink on them and the motherboard didnt come with any either. And the samsung's product page says it doesnt need one. I don't download games very often.

EDIT: forgot to mention that ive had this prebuilt for over a year.

it may just be dusty, clean it out with an aircompressor

Downloading on Steam is download + decompress and install frequently. If your download speeds are fast enough the download and decompress will happen all at the same time. Thats a lot of read/writes all at the same time. Samsung Nvmes can run quite hot under loads like that. If it was too hot it'd throttle.

If you're curious run CrystalDiskMark and see what temps it'd get to when pushed....more than normal. You can do this a few times back to back, before it can cool, and compare. If it throttles you'd notice reduce speeds on the later tests. Unless its 90+ all the time I wouldn't worry.

Wouldn't hurt to clean out the system like recommended above

Clean the drives off. Install a heatsiink. You can buy all sorts of NVME style heatsinks off Amazon cheap

definetly like was said clean off any dust. also peak in when the PCs running make sure your fans are all turning! Fans will last a long time but all it takes is the edge of a wire to stop it turning and typically youd never know

Make sure that your firmware is up to date via Samsung Magician. 82c sounds like its thermal throttling.

If you are worried you can buy a new pc case and some better cooling solutions to upgrade your system.

Well, could it be that I only have four fans and three of them are on the front radiator? Also, I know i haven't blew it out in a few months, but there's only a small bit of dust because I regularly clean the dust filters.

I was wondering about that because I remember reading that's how Steam works it can cause temps to rise. I don't normally do tests like that becuase I fear wearing something out or breaking something. But other than that time downloading the game, I've never seen the temps get higher than 76c while gaming.

Yup, fans are all spinning, which they better because I've only had this computer for over a year!

I've thought about that, but from the looks of it, I'm not sure a heatsink will fit as the ssd is right under the gpu.

Also, it seems the link to the image didn't make it so I'll edit the above post and also post here again:

If someone could explain the temps to me here. This image is from when I'm just watching a stream with Chrome open.

Which Motherboard and GPU you have?

Exact models please

If those are NVME drives and running that hot, it's surprising you haven't bluescreened since Windows should be doing so past 75C unless the hardware specifically tells it not to. And I highly doubt that is the case. It'll probably start doing so once it's damaged enough.

Also, I would not use a PCI 5 SSD without a heatsink no matter what is being marketed, unless it were in a laptop or other confined space.

I have a kingson NVME and it ran pretty hot, even reaching 90ºc (and slowing down). I installed a thermalright m.2 heatsink (about 6 euros) and it alone took about 15ºc from the average temps. Also installed some more case fans and now I get a maximum of about 70ºc at heavy loads.
If the samsung has the sensors in the same place as my kingston (and as far as I've been able to find out), sensor 1 is for the memory chip(s) and sensor 2 is for the drive's "processor". Sensor 3 is probably not doing anything. HWinfo has 4 sensors show up in my case but de drive only has 2 (and 3 and 4 don't change).
Just check all fans and airflow and maybe get an m.2 heatsink. It's cheap peace of mind. Got mine from amazon.

its fine.
My SSD barely hits 30 degrees.

I ordered a heatsink from Amazon since I saw MHWilds causing it to get up to 85c while playing! Also, is that normal for Wilds?
