[SOLVED] SSD is causing my laptop to overheat and FPS drops in video games ?

[Waelo67j]

I recently bought an SSD, this one: https://www.amazon.de/SanDisk-PLUS-120GB-Sata-Internal/dp/B01F9G43WU/ref=asc_df_B07621PNWC/?tag=&linkCode=df0&hvadid=310594507569&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=10389343012982921541&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9044536&hvtargid=pla-386821450011&th=1&ref=&adgrpid=64737915114 and removed the original 1TB HDD. After a few weeks my Laptop has been quite hotter and I recently tried to play a videogame which was very laggy even tried to lower the quality but nothing changed.

Update: I updated the BIOs which helped with the noise and lowered the heat a bit, havent tried any games yet. Does anyone recommend applying new Thermal paste?

which laptop is it?
all drivers installed from the laptop manufacturer´s homepage?

Its an Acer Aspire E5-574, and yes, i havent touched the drivers since i got it excluding the Realtek Audio driver which i downloaded from other sites after downloading windows on the SSD

maybe there are updated drivers on the ACER homepage, try reinstalling the drivers as well if not

What is the cpu and gpu temperatures when gaming?

If a temperature problem I don’t see how an SSD could directly cause an increase in temperatures. I’d guess it’s either a coincidence or maybe when putting in the SSD something happened to the cooler, maybe come loose, misaligned or blocked.
