Can some one explain why is my ssd over heating?

[Edzons]

Hello, when im gaming my ssd heats up really much idk whats the problem, it gets enough air flow and stuff or is it ok for my ssd to sit around 60 degrees when im gaming?And when its idle its about 50 degrees. PLZ help! Heres the screen from my speccy http://prntscr.com/m38g6r

if the board has M.2 heatsink, take that off.

It has no M.2 slot so yea

I found out my evo 970 was getting up to 70'c while gaming so i put a EK M.2 heatsink on it and problem solved cost like $15 bucks and with decent airflow works like a dream

SSD drives like to be warm, they should hang out around 40-50 C in use for optimal life so i wouldn't worry too much.

In my old rig i had Hyperx ssd and it was sitting 30 degrees all the time so its seems sketchy to me, but if u say that theres nothing to worry about then okay.

2.5" inch SSD dont normally get above 45'c depends where you live but M.2 seems to get a lot warmer. but like Swes said they like to run @ 40-50'c and if they get too cold it can be bad for its lifetime. I live in aus and it can get to 40'c outside easy so I need a decent heatsink to keep temps between 50-60'c

I live in Latvia and its like -2'c out site right now and im my room its about 20'c so idk what to think man

can check out video by GN on this topic if you want to get more details but yeah its fine. most hardware doesnt care about the 30-75 C range its all the same except when youre running at the edge of an OC which an SSD is not doing.
