I have a Thermaltake tr2 500w and a ADATA su750 500GB(both are brand new), and it has been running at 57 °C since i got it and recently it spiked up to 63 °C , HD Sentinel says its health is at 87% but every other s.m.a.r.t util i use says its at 100%.

When i feel the SSD most of the heat is where the SATA Power cable is plugged in. So is it possible for the SATA power cable to be causing the high temperature and would using a SATA power cable extender resolve this problem. i do plan on a RMA as soon as my m.2 is delivered. But i would like to know if there is other ways to resolve this before i go to that messure. Please and thank you
