    [SOLVED] Samsung 970 Evo Plus showing as 'Unknown' in Samsung Magician Software

    Yup. This is something I noticed after a reformat sometime over this past Spring, and it's been this way ever since. Even after my most recent reinstall.

    Idle Temp's Too Hot? Unsure Why =(

    Okay, so before I start I've done a bit of reading through posts... I'm seeing some people say that this is common, and others say check "settings" and that it's not so common. So I own an EVGA GTX 970 SC ACX 2.0, and they are pushing 2 monitors; my primary is a BenQ XL2720Z running 1920x1080 @...

The short of it, I plugged...
