970 Evo Plus High Temps!! HELP

[Corn Flakes]

Hello. My Samsung  1 TB Evo Plus Temps are way to high. My computer shutoff and when I rebooted and looked at Hardware Info64, the temps are crazy. This hasn't happened before and I was using the 970 for 4 months. When I mounted the GPU vertical (which was about a month), the temps were still good until this day. I was watching YouTube and loaded up Valorant, which I did many times before.

I really can't help with that, but (and not to be annoying) maybe take the sticker off the tempered glass? It kind of takes away from the look of the PC. Also try hitting up Samsung!

Where is the drive mounted?

Behind the GPU. The top M.2 slot.

My guess would be the heat from the GPU is blowing up against the drive. Is the drive equipped with an heatsink?

No. But I had it in this orientation for about a month and had no trouble before.

Vertical mounting with a Air cooled gpu, Disgusting How dare you! /s

 

Just make sure it has some sort of airflow, Trying a few different fan profiles out and seeing what works best should be something you try.

Well it's looks like it's in a Hotspot. Dunno why it started happening now. You could try mounting a heatsink on it to see if it in inproves.
