I bet PCIE 6.0 M.2 NVME need it's own AIO watercooler, PCIE 7.0 M.2 need cyro-cooler with it's own external Compressor and Evaporator.

[Kapono]

After doing my first PC build I found out that the first M.2 slot makes the SSD temp higher than if if was in a different location lower on the motherboard.

[MrCornholio]

Had to change my ssd of slot because of it was right over the wifi card, so it would make the wifi adapter disconnect everytime, now it overheats to 80°C out of nowhere, my cpu could be 47°C and the ssd just decided to go hot, got a S.M.A.R.T warning from it but it is running perfectly and working like brand new...

[jeanyonsei]

I need to install a NVME SSD below the GPU. I haven't found information anywhere about what would be the gap between the ssd and gpu and if it's possible to install with a low height dissipator.

My XPG gaming X S 70 blade 2 Tb died after 3 months
It won't boot and when i check it in the nvme configuration it shows as MN-5236 and disk size shoes 2.1 GB and sometimes when i remove the drive and install it again it shows S 70 Blade 2TB and when i run a device self test ( controllor only ) my bios freezes
Also my nvme idles around a 50 C and the max reeding i have seen on hw monitor is 62 C
Can it be because of temperature?

What could be the cause of my problem
My friend tell me that it because of my high intensive work i do all day like for straight 8h avg a day

HELP!

i currently have the t700 with heatsink and i want to remove it. (I already have) and will it void the warranty? ALSO i dont want to use the heatsink due to its largeness. So i want to use my mobos heatsink which also states its 10X at heat dissipation. Can i do this? Also on the non heatsink version, there is a sticker on it. Since i got the heatsink version and i removed it, there is no sticker?? Does this matter, should i worry? The thermal plate for my b650e atx ice should cover the ssd but there wont be a sticker, so it will directly touch my ssd. Am i good??

[matthewrease]

If the motherboard already has a heatshield should you use that instead or would buying the SSD that comes with a heatsink still be a good idea?

[GnA_]

when he said "74 gbps because it's malfunctioning" I thought "Damn so it probably goes like half a terabit per second when it's not malfunctioning?😱 No wonder he's making video about it. That is insane even for an SSD. 😱😱"

then he brought me back to reality with "it's 12 gbps when its not malfunctioning" 😑😑

[Didr-]

I've got the x670e-e motherboard with heatsink panels included in the motherboard. Is that enought to cool the Crucial T700?

[alrizo]

And they cut the pcie lane where your gpu is slotted from x16 to x8

[Joseph]

Yea they are not worth buying just yet. I am gonna wait till they have been been advanced a bit more before buying my self one.

[VorreonJohnson]

Honestly I think at a certain point ssd speeds don’t really matter to the consumer like think about it yeah games load faster…. But that’s it it’s not like waiting a few seconds for a game to load is going to be the end of the world and unless you’re downloading on the fastest internet then you won’t notice anything different
