Created backup from old SSD, restored to new. Everything's working.

I've recently added NVMe SSD (WD Blue SN550 [WDS500G2B0C]) to my MSI GP63 laptop (i7-8750H, 16GB, 1060 6GB, 120GB SATA SSD, 1TB HDD).

 

Everything was fine, until I noticed CPU overheating, while installing updates, games, etc.

I still had OS on SATA SSD and decided to test if it was problem with NVMe - no overheating on old OS, while installing to NVMe.

 

CristalDiskMark shows that temperature spikes happen at random 4KiB test (read and write).

From old SSD:

From new SSD:

Temperature of new SSD never went higher than 49°С during tests.

 

P.S. Sorry for crappy English, not my first language.

The CPU is probably working a lot harder because the SSD can handle a lot more data. Though I can't say I've seen a laptop thermal throttle just by handling files before so you might have a separate issue. What are temps like while gaming?

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

I've played Cyberpunk installed on NVMe SSD: booting from old SSD temperature stabilized in mid-70s, from new SSD I've had spikes in 85-95°С range, while game was loading, then stable mid-70s with momentary spikes up to 90-95°С.

sounds like a thermal problem in general then. Is this an old laptop? If it is, fresh paste might help. If you don't mind more noise, faster fan speeds might help

Fresh paste is always good, but even in cpu stress test thermals are pretty much the same when I bought laptop about two years ago and fans at max speed don't help with spikes at all. 

 

The only time I've seen temperature rise to 90 was long session of RDR2.

Not sure if this will help, but I'm going to clone old system to new SSD, see if it's software problem.
