I have a Samsung 970 Evo Plus SSD (M.2) and when I play games, according to Samsung Magician temperatures of 76crad partially reached. Is this harmful or still ok for the SSD?
Such temperatures are not reached in all games.
Only for games like ARK. When I do other things like playing Fortnite, she does not get so hot.
And what can I do against elevated temperature? Unfortunately, the SSD between GPU and CPU because my motherboard has no other M.2 slot
I have also overclocked my CPU to 4.5 GHz. Would it also help to tack down something?
Too warm a maximum of 45 degrees
The operating temperature for your SSD is between 0 and 70 degrees Celsius.
Your SSD will probably get the heat of your graphics card.
The following solutions:
Optimize the cooling performance of your case. (higher air flow, etc.)
Depending on the case, you can also turn the graphics card 90 degrees and install it. This leads to a greater distance to the SSD and could help.
Use another board…
Use PCI-E card with m.2 slot. (These are supposed to provide m.2 slots for old boards.)
Too warm:
you see what happens when SSDs get too hot. Miss the space you have between SSD and GPU and get a matching cooler: https://www.amazon.de/...B077Q3HVP9 - as an idea
Well in Samsung Magician temperatures of 50crad are still given as normal
Is too big, you have to look for your SSD.
