How do you know the ssd was overheated?

It can be other than that. If installed properly, i don't see why it can overheat on boot?

Ryzen 5700g @ 4.4ghz all cores | Asrock B550M Steel Legend | 3060 | 2x 16gb Micron E 2666 @ 4200mhz cl16 | 500gb WD SN750 | 12 TB HDD | Deepcool Gammax 400 w/ 2 delta 4000rpm push pull | Antec Neo Eco Zen 500w

Did you remove the protective layer from the heatsink thermal pad? If you didn't remove it it will insulate your SSD, not cool it.

If someone did not use reason to reach their conclusion in the first place, you cannot use reason to convince them otherwise.

That doesn't answer why you know it's the SSD that's overheating, just a clue that it might be something overheating. Just because it's the last thing you added, still makes it an assumption.

 

Have you actually checked how hot it gets when it freezes?

I would try it in a different m.2 slot and see if that makes a difference.

CrystalDiskInfo should show the temperature.

I have the same SSD, without cooling it went 50+ celsius under load, that's still lower than Samsung EVO 970 Plus was...

I edit my posts more often than not
