NVME SSD idling at high temps (65C)

Hi everyone, every NVMe drive that I put into my desktop seems to run really hot for no reason even when idling. This is onl the controller, the NAND themselves do not get super hot. The hottest one I have runs at close to 65C or even higher sometimes when doing really not much. Incidentally though, when under full load, it doesn't get much hotter than that, goes up to around 70C.

 

It's almost like it's always running at full voltage/power even when idling. Interestingly, if I use my NVMe drives in my laptop (X1 Carbon 6G) then they run super cool, around 30C. This is really bothering me as it's likely degrading the controller at a much faster rate.

 

Anyone have any idea as to why?

BRRRT!
