Hello,

I have a Samsung 980 Pro 1 TB as the boot drive and it's barely full (73% free space out of the 1 TB) and also has 10% over provisioning set.

And the case is very well ventilated (noctua 120 + 140 iPPC's, 3 x 140's + 2 x 120's for intake) and (4 x 120's for exhaust).

The temps on the Samsung 980 is as follows:
  1. Normal boot up and OS loading: 43 Celcius
  2. Samsung Magician Performance Benchmark: Max 59 Celcius
I have CrystalDiskInfo installed and anytime the SSD goes above 50 Celcius, it plays the alarm sound. What is the ideal operating temperature for the Samsung 980 Pro considering I read somewhere that the NAND / Flash chips don't like to be too cold.

Thank you for your time, I appreciate it a lot.

You are good.
The max operating temperature is 85c.
The warning comes at 82c.

Likely your crystal mark synthetic benchmark has set 50c. as a warning level.

It is only under sustained sequential processing that m.2 devices heat up.
Think on the order of 30+ seconds for a virus scan.
If the temperature gets too high, the ssd will throttle to protect itself.
Not a big issue, most ssd processing is small random I/O.
