Is a motherboard heatsink enough to cool a Crucial T700 SSD?

[Fluuwu]

I'm considering buying a Crucial T700 Type 5 SSD for my new PC, since my new Motherboard (B650 Aorus Elite AX Ice) has a PCIe5.0 M.2 slot.
Will the m.2 Thermal Guard from the Motherboard be enough to keep it under good temperatures?
Since it's running at over 10'000MB on read and write.

Gen 5 usually require a good cooling. Perhaps even active cooling like - https://www.thermalright.com/product/hr-10-2280-pro/

Though if you're not constantly moving large files around the motherboard heat sink might do.

Any reason you are getting this stupid expensive drive?

 

Like we only recently started seeing a small load time difference in games between a sata ssd like a mx500 and top spec pcie 5.0 stuff.

 

A first gen nvme drive vs top spec stuff like the t700 shows 0 difference.

 

Get a lexar nm790 4tb or similar for that price.

 

The drive you are getting does need decent cooling since its a first gen sorta hackjob of a gen 5 controller that runs VERY hot. But unless you actually have a usecase for that data throughput that drive is entirely useless.

ew, that's ugly...
well... i guess a high read/write Gen 4 would also do xD

It's not only for games, but also for video editing and image editing and general video stuff.
But yeah, I guess Gen5 is way too overkill, I was just wondering

Is that better? - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006609765240.html

But yeah, very few people really need gen 5. Usually for work.

Gen 4 will probably be enough I think.

no need for that, I can recommend you a selection of SSDs for that specific purpose,

Oh even then a sata drive like the mx500 tends to be plenty good to this day

 

You'd honestly be surprised at how much a consistent 600MB/s of data is for things like video editing.

 

But yeah just get a half decent nvme like the lexar I mentioned and enjoy 4 times the storage for less than the price of a 1tb gen 5.

How much for Crucial T700?

 

170€ for 1TB, I can find you a very fast drive for half that price, that's way too much expense for general or even medium productive level
