Question NVME Thermal on Static 70 Celsius

[newlinuxguy]

Screenshot and DxDiag in Google Drive link.

My NVME is currently showing an all STATIC 70 Degree Celsius. Literally does not move. I have done several BIOS tests on the hardware as well as some diagnostics for bad sectors (even though I'm not sure how's that related) but nothing seems to be amiss!

Had it for two weeks. Max I did with it was run a couple of Linux environments but thats it. That particular sensor would cross the 60s and 70s threshhold (the rest would be fine), so I placed a house fan to maintain the temps until I could fix it up with a heat sink. ONce that was taken care of, it hovered in the 40 and 50s along with its siblings.

Now its just...stuck at 70 - but nothing seems to be amiss.

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

Out of that txt file you've included, it states your system maker to be Asus and that you're on BIOS version 2201 but we don't know the model of the motherboard. Please pass on the make and model of the motherboard?

KINGSTON SNV3S1000G
Have you checked to see if the drive has any firmware updates pending?

Thank you kind sir!

This is the ROG Strix B550.

Documentations for it here:

Regarding firmware. I just found an SSD Manager by Kingston and it reports that there are no firmware updates to be installed. Screenshot attached in the same drive.

I have some SATA SSDs which show 30C all the time. Another model (Plextor?) doesn't show any temperatures in Hard Disk Sentinel, Aida64, HWMonitor. I just assumed it was down to an incompatible hardware interface in the SSD or lack of a suitable Windows driver.

Some M.2 drives run quite hot under load and I would not be too concerned if one hit 70C. Throttle point might be somewhere between 80 and 90C.

My Samsung 980 PRO 1TB NVMe with integral heatsink has reached 74C during its lifetime. Possibly during a video render or a benchmark test on a hot day.
