    Question Samsung SSD 970 Evo plus m.2 drive controller temp always high and throttling

    I have ~120gb of the 1tb available right now. That's usually about the cushion I keep for available space at any given time. And also I have a Lian Li 011 Dynamic XL case, with exceptionally well managed cables, airflow and thermals. I have 10 internal fans, with 6 intake and 4 exhaust. The 3...

    Question Samsung SSD 970 Evo plus m.2 drive controller temp always high and throttling

    So if it's sticking somewhere between 70-80C at idle for extended periods, you'd say that's normal and I shouldn't worry about it? If so that's good to hear, and I have already ordered a heatsink to install on it myself. I've just found a lot of information saying that it's "cause for alarm" if...

    I just now posted this, and as I was writing this when I took this screenshot, Drive Temperature 2 was 78C. And now a few minutes after posting, my drive temp is 55. Then by the time I finish typing this post, it is sitting solid at 70C. Please help me TomsHardware!

    Question Samsung SSD 970 Evo plus m.2 drive controller temp always high and throttling

    Lately I've noticed my Steam downloads taking a very long time despite having hardwired 1gb internet. I also noticed that whenever I'd download Windows Updates (on Windows 10) my computer's performance would go to a crawl with lagging, hitching, and sometimes even freezing for seconds at a time...

    Question Worried about my i9-10900k temps

    I recently got a new machine running the hardware below and things have been great performance wise so far (especially since I upgraded to a better PSU), but I'm kind of worried about my CPU temps when running at load.

    [SOLVED] Issue with new RTX Aorus 3080 power indicator light

    Yeah I'm very much regretting the Apevia PSU at this point and will be looking into another immediately. I assumed pretty quickly that this component bit me and that I'd have to replace. Would anyone have any recommendations for size/wattage? I'm not super knowledgeable when it comes to power...

    [SOLVED] Issue with new RTX Aorus 3080 power indicator light

    I recently built a custom PC with an rtx AORUS 3080, and am having an issue with one of the power indicator lights on it. Whenever I am at load running a stress test, benchmark or more demanding game the power indicator light on the right-most PCI Express port on the card is occasionally...
