Question Internal SSD disk around 70 degree C at all times

[Skyrosa]

My SSD shows around 70 degree C temperature on CrystalDiskInfo, Could it be a cause of FPS drops in games? And How do i prevent it? Do i need to put thermal pad or additional fan? Or should i keep my case open? (I have at least 5-6 fans in my case, and fan outside in the room.) On the picture it shows 65 but just a while before this post it was 70. The only thing open on the PC is browser currently.

65 C is at least 20 degrees higher than I'd expect to see under normal conditions in a traditional PC at or near idling.

Is this a recent development or has this always been an issue?

Give us complete details on your case, case fans, and CPU cooler. Brand, rpm, where mounted, etc

What is your room temperature and is that fairly consistent?

How sure are you that your CPU cooler is properly mounted and functioning as it should?

Have you confirmed temps with another method?

Update your post to include full system hardware specs and OS information.

PSU: make, model, wattage, age, condition (original to build, new, refurbished, used)?

Disk drive(s): make, model, capacity, how full?

I added 2 more screens from HWInfo and SpeedFans. It says 0 RPM but they are clearly working in the case, all of them. Why is it like that?

I added more screenshots. Disk is nearly empty just windows and some small softwares 141 GB free. Was new when bought.

I confirmed it with other softwares they all show the same degree my room temp is normal with a fan always working. CPU fan is properly mounted and working 100%. I attached 2 more screenshots.

Assuming your Force MP500 240GB SSD is an M.2 NVMe drive, I wouldn't be too concerned if CrystalDiskMark shows 70C at times. NVMe drives are designed to run hot when working hard. The NAND memory chips can easily reach 70C and the controller chip 95C, at which point thermal throttling occurs. See the temperature graphs in this article.

If your MP500 does not have a heatsink and is sitting in a "dead zone" on your motherboard underneath a large GPU with poor air circulation, then it's bound to get hot when reading/writing large amounts of data. I'd expect the SSD temperature to be significantly lower when the system is idling. We are of course assuming that Crystal is giving valid info. You could try touching the SSD (carefully) to confirm it's hot.

If you have a water-cooled CPU, there is unlikely to be much air flowing over the NVMe drive and the VRMs near the CPU. If your MP500 does not have a heatsink and is located in a "hot spot" near the CPU and under a GPU, then of course it will get hot.

Some people with water-cooled CPUs fit a small fan (60mm or 80mm) directed down at the VRMs next to the CPU waterblock. This fan could also provide air flow over an M.2 drive under the GPU.

An alternative is to buy and fit an M.2 heatsink, with or without its own miniature cooling fan. The Icy Box cooler shown below is overkill in most cases and probably won't fit in your case, but it shows what's possible.

Hard Disk Sentinel Pro displays the lowest and highest temperatures reached on all the drives in your system.

couild you try to plug the other fans in the system fan that is detected and see if you have readings also in speed fan i would put them all to max settings at 100% also give the full picture of hwinfo sensor page system running to hot .
