Question Mini Itx Asus Strix Z690i build, high m.2 temperature at idle.

[winkawak]

I would like to start off by saying i have double checked my installation and thermal pad stickers are off. This board thermal pad is only available on top of m.2 which makes sense since chips are on top.

My room temp is around 75-77F, i have phanteks glacier one 280mm radiator front installed with fan drawing in air. All other component such as ram,cpu,mobo temp are all normal but my m.2 temp at idle is around 55C and when stress test with crystaldiskmark for 10 minutes or so my temp shot up to 66-68C. This cant be normal right?

Make and model of your drive? Make and model of your case and the orientation of your AIO? On second thoughts, please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
As for your SSD in question, if it's by Samsung, WD, Crucial, Thermaltake, TeamGroup or Kingston, see if there is/are any firmware updates pending. Which slot are you populating of the two on that board?
