High m.2 temperatures

[winkawak]

My mobo is strix z690i and i have os installed on m.2 along with all my programs. HWinfo is reading 67c, is this too high at casual use?

Is that ambient temperature? Because if you're doing heavy reads and/or rights; that actually normal. If it's IDLE and reading those kinds of temps; then that's NOT normal.

Assuming they are normal and if you're concerned about temps you can buy heatsinks+thermal pads for your SSDs
You also do not need to worry about temps in general in a working SSD since the SSD regulate themselves to avoid overheating. If it gets too hot; it slows down.

Is it properly seated under the heatspreader? Maybe overtightened? Check if it's bending and the thermal pad is there and the plastic is removed.

67C for sounds very normal, most SSDs has to be relatively hot in order to work. Also 67c is not hot at all for nand flash

My room temp is alittle warm at 78F, just normal operation such as web surfing and watching videos. My mobo strix z690i does come with thermal pad. Turning up my cpu fan to 35% at idle seems to lower my m.2 temp, right now idle at 56C. Did quick crystaldiskmark SEQ1M Q1T1 and RND4K Q1T1 temp were stable at 65C

My mobo strix z690i mini itx can stack 2 m.2. I only have 1 installed as os drive and top surface of m.2 is on thermal pad but on portion thermal pad does not make contact(i think its normal due to chips are on top of m.2) and plastic removed.

whats m.2 max temp? I turned up my cpu fan (front facing drawing in air) and right now temp is lower at 56C, i guess it needed air? Everything else like mobo,cpu,ram temp are all normal on quite fan setting.

Ops, sorry i meant "Idle" temperature of the SSD.
But it's good to know your ambient as well

Max temp of M.2 depends on the manufacturer, but usually they're in the ball of 80degC

Depends on the SSD. What SSD model you got?

Ripjaw S5 Series 32GB, it seems to be idling at 55C alittle higher than i like, with downloading its about 59-60 and cystaldiskmark stress about 68C

from what i have gathered it seems all pcie 4 m.2 tend to get hot? I was looking at the wd sn850 (100c) and samsung 980 (90c) both review stated they get extremely hot.
