Question Samsung 990 Pro with heatsink is reaching 52c when gaming ?

[elinbarrage]

hello,i just found out that the heatsinked ssd is running warm in some games,although 52c might not be too hot, but still im concerned about the temp as it was not under stress or anything..
is it because of the heat that gpu and cpu generates?

If it's right next to or under the GPU or other heat-emitting components, it might be that.

Games won't do frequent read/writes (except tiny bit) while playing it, and only upon loading the game it does so.

It could also be bad airflow.
A heatsink itself doesn't make the component cooler, it takes the heat away from it and lets airflow carry the heat away through a larger surface area. If airflow is restrictive in your PC case (it shouldn't be like that) It might be that the heat can't be carried out from the heatsink faster than the component emits heat.

Q) Do you have good airflow in your case? (meaning it having fans [intake/exhaust])
Q2) What is model is your PC Case?

the airflow is good but now the fans are 7 years old,the ssd is surrounded by cpu(on the top)and the gpu(on the bottom)and there is barely clearence among them..
case is green z7 gladiator fulltower.

What is the system temperature when the computer has ben running for some time. (in moderate tasks)

its roughly 44c.

Not to worry.
The operating specs say 0 to 70c.
Should 70c. get exceeded, perhaps by a long sequential scan, the device will simply slow down a bit until the issue is resolved.

You will find that temperatures inside a case are hotter than you might think.
50c. would not be unusual.

52ºC is no concern at all and well within normal operating temps.

My 1TB 980 Pro w/ heatsink idles at 50-51C. Under load (long copy function), goes up to 65C.

Yours is just fine.

yea but the heat comes from other componet so thats why im a bit concerned..ive seen ppl say that 990pro 2tb/1tb is one of the coolest gen 4 drives.but they say 4tb version is hot,idk why.

tnx to all people who responded,appericiate it.
