How do I measure temp of M2 SSD

[kgnimbus]

I see much debate about M2 SSD's reaching high temps and want to know how one monitors the actual temp of the device. Any software that will measure with any make?

HWINFO64 is good to monitor about everything on your system.

Not to worry.
Possibly a m.2 device might get warm while doing a stress test.
But in any normal or even any usage scenario there will be no issue.

Temperatures are calculated from voltages. If you really wanted to measure the actual temperature, you would affix a thermocouple to the device.

Thanks Pit - have downloaded and it is a great piece of kit.

Cheers & thks for the information. Must admit that what you say makes sense and perhaps too many of us are getting unneccessarliy concerned about this high temp thing with M2 SSDs

Not at all. There was a blip about the first generation Samsung SSD throttling down, by itself, at he presence of high temp.

So what are the temps you are getting?
