SSD temps

TL;DR:
What is safe for a SATA SSD? 
Is 53 degrees Celsius too hot for an SSD?

Full story
I did some looking and people are getting temps like 20 (unspecified) or 30 (unspecified.) They said SSD thermal throttle and things should be fine or that they don't care what temperature they operate at. 
What is safe for a SATA SSD? 
Are my temps okay? I have 53 Celcius on my San Disk 120 GB SSD.
33 on my 4tb 5400 rpm HDD and 34 on my 7200 rpg HDD. Those ones seem fine especially since crystaldiskinfo has the numbers blue. .

I'm thinking my SSD is overheating because I get a LOT of random freezing where the computer just stops and doesn't do anything with the screen not moving. I have a bit of a small case & and AMD graphics card to heat my house. I took the side door off because the computer gets really hot.

That's a really dumb rule. CPUs don't have moving parts, and they still get heat problems. Am I misunderstanding you? 

Main PC:

AMD Ryzen 7 5800X • Noctua NH-D15 • MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk • 2x8GB G.skill Trident Z Neo 3600MHz CL16 • MSI VENTUS 3X GeForce RTX 3070 OC • Samsung 970 Evo 1TB • Samsung 860 Evo 1TB • Cosair iCUE 465X RGB • Corsair RMx 750W (White)

 

Peripherals/Other:

ASUS VG27AQ • G PRO K/DA • G502 Hero K/DA • G733 K/DA • G840 K/DA • Oculus Quest 2 • Nintendo Switch (Rev. 2)

 

Laptop (Dell XPS 13):

Intel Core i7-1195G7 • Intel Iris Xe Graphics • 16GB LPDDR4x 4267MHz • 512GB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD • 13.4" OLED 3.5K InfinityEdge Display (3456x2160, 400nit, touch). 

 

Got any questions about my system or peripherals? Feel free to tag me (@bellabichon) and I'll be happy to give you my two cents.

When did this freezing problem start happening? I personally don't think it's your SSD.

 

My own SSD operates between 43C - 52C and I've never had any issues with it.

You do realize the only components in computers that have moving parts at all are HDDs and fans?

That's nonsense.

If the components get too hot, they will experience increased degradation, or outright be destroyed. And as mentioned before, other solid state components like CPUs and GPUs suffer from heat related problems, like thermal throttling and they have a TJ max.

Our office machines here have SSDs of various manufacturers that run 55-60c 24/7 and do not have any issues at all.

Your freezing/crashing is most likely something else that you will need to diagnose.

Core i7 6700k @ 4.6ghz cooled by a Corsair H100i GTX
EVGA Z170 FTW w/ 16gb GSkill Trident Z DDR4 3333mhz
EVGA GTX980 SC @ 1501mhz
Asus ROG Swift PG278Q
Phanteks Enthoo Pro M w/ EVGA 1000 P2
Samsung 960 Evo M.2 512GB -- OS
Samsung 850 Evo 1TB -- games

@MyInnerFred I think freezing began before my SSD was installed (my cpu mobo ram and psu are second hand) 

 

I’m not sure if the SSD could be another reason to why it would freeze. I was hoping that would be the answer. It is my windows OS drive. 

 

I suppose that everyone agrees that SSD temps are fine up to at least 60 degrees celcius?

Yeah 60C and below is typically what I see as operating temp range for SSDs. 

 

What are the temps of the rest of your PC when the freezing occurs? Is your CPU thermal throttling? When everything freezes do you have to restart your PC or does it unfreeze after a period of time?

I don't know. 
It freezes randomly. The last time it froze was playing "Space Marine" from 2011. 
Most of the time it just freezes with 3~ tabs of google chrome open with a video playing. 
Sometimes I have a text processor or light application of a similar sort with the google chrome tabs open. 
I believe the computer has froze on the desktop with no applications open. 

It's froze in about every circumstance that I don't know why it freezes.

Go ahead and make sure your BIOS settings are on default and then start testing each of your sticks of ram individually for stability. 

 

Run the Windows Memory Diagnostics Tool.

I did reset my bios. In the settings and by removing the CMOS. 
I don't know what you mean by test each stick individually. 
In Windows 10's search I selected Windows Memory Diagnostics tool and it will run the next time I turn on my computer.
