Hey guys,
My main storage m.2 nvme kingstone nv1 500gb starts to overheat after the replacement of my bundle with a new one
It was 48 C° with the older bundle, now it reaches over 64 C°
At the same 22C° room temperature

My specs,

Old:
Gigabyte H410m - i5 10400f - 32 gb ram with 2400 mhz

New:
Msi Pro H610m-G -i5 12400f - 32 gb ram with 3200 mhz

Storage kingston nvme m.2 nv1 500 gb
 
Cpu cooler is Silverstone AR12 TUF argb ..
3 intake fans 2 front and one at the bottom
2 exhaust fans
+Cheap 1 USD heatsink for the nvme (remain with the 2 builds)

I've to mention that is the same windows for both bundles

same gpu?
the only thing I can think of is it is hotter inside the case. but sound like you have enough air flow.
Same gpu & every thing including windows (i didn't install a new windows).
My case Have 3 intake & 2 exhaust fans

I've tried to put a case fan in front of the m.2 and the temperature only reduced to 60C°

Hope nothing go wrong with it 😓

you should take that of "Cheap 1 USD heatsink for the nvme (remain with the 2 builds) ".. my nv1 do not get above 50*c in load and try to put more fans on case(if you have room) for air intake and -1 for removing the air try 2/1 ratio i think it's the best airflow for the case :/ a bad heatsink could do more harm than without, depends on heat transfer " Q = -k * A * (ΔT / Δx)– Q represents the rate of heat transfer (in Watts, W). – k is the thermal conductivity of the material (in Watts per meter per Kelvin, W/m·K). – A is the cross-sectional area through which heat is being conducted (in square meters, m²).

Thanks my friend,
I've already try -1 intake fans it it remains the same

My guess that the new motherboard have Gen4 instead of old Gen3 and it may consuming it more or not?

gen 3 and 4 are compatible, but it dose not change the power draw of ssd or thermals in anyway, if you have a Cheap 1 USD heatsink for the nvme , you should try peel of any stickers of ssd ( peel of sitcker slowly if you fast feel you can peel of some small electronics or void warranty), but be careful not to feel of any electronic parts with it and try put the heatsink but you need a thermal pad between them, so you can check this out
