Hi everybody. I was hoping you might clear some doubts I have about this pc I built a yesterday.
So, I assembled a new PC the other day. Got everything in place, installed Windows, and used Speccy to check if everything was correctly recognized. What caugh my attention was that my Kingston A400 of 480gb was running at 53ºc while idle. Now, according to Kingston, the operating temperatures of this drive go from 0ºc to 70ºc, but I don't believe that 15ºc off from max temperature while doing absolutely nothing is normal. I did some copy/write tests on it and its max temperature rised to 83ºc while writing around 88gbs into it.
I tried moving it around the case so it gets better air flow; uninstalling Windows from it and using is as an auxiliary drive; disassembling the case's walls, but nothing. It's always at 53ºC (with a min of 49ºc after opening the case), according to Speccy and HW64info.
I'm not sure what to do or how else to troubleshoot it. Ran some tests with CrystalDiskMark to check how it's performing (http://puu.sh/GS9Wd/aef70a1b26.png) but I think they results are normal.
What I find extremely weird is that it is not warm to the touch. I'd even say it's kinda cold, which shouldn't be the case with such temperature.
Any guesses?
