970 EVO too hot or?

80C running ATTO is hot in an desktop. You could get heatsink with active cooling (including fans).

 

It's "drive temperature 2". Temperature 1 doesn't get that high. Older versions of HWinfo only showed temperature 1 (airflow temperature).
MSIbook gets to 66C on the same test. The MSI heatsink is much larger. And it's impossible for me to put a fan there. The M.2 slots are under the soundcard and video card (using it under the soundcard, videocard one is empty). I already tried remounting once, no difference. It would be hotter without the Gigabyte z390 heatsink, so I'm not going to worry about it.

 

Interesting... maybe you don't have proper contact with the heatsink? I have my 970 evo in an asus z370 prime-a under the silver heatsink-thing and it never ever reached 60C yet on drive temperature 2 even running benchmarks

 

I checked twice already. Maybe I'll just remove the stickers and try again. But I can't do it right now because I'm downloading *ahem* Cinema 4D and OctaneRender which is downloading slow (capped site) because i'm weird and want to see path tracing and ray tracing if i can even figure out how to use the program. What a waste of time :/

 

If you manage to do something, share with me please I just order new pads to try, It is going to be delivered for about 6-7 days. I will report if I get any better temperatures.

 

Mine still has the sticker on. Maybe asus uses better thermal pads? I was thinking of switching to gigabyte in an attempt to get rid of the gpu coil whine (as nothing else seems to work) but now I am doubting Don't wanna fry my poor samsung...

 

The nand chips have an advantage of not running too cold. It’s the controller which is the problem and too hot will throttling down speed. Checked this? The heatsink with integrated fans isn’t that thick. Several types. Even with flashy lights for those who prefer this.

 

I'll remove the front sticker later. Found out the "copper" label is on the back. We'll see. I need to finish this super slow download first.

 

I removed the sticker and temps dropped by a whopping 0C-1C.
Can't do anything else.

 

Your workflow is probably not depending on maxed out storage speed 24/7.

 

Maybe this will help you?

 

If that's directed at me, no room for that on a desktop. The M.2 sits under cards. That would never fit.

 

This will be good if can fit in laptop

 

Depends on the laptop. Apple design everywhere nowadays you know You forget the Z hight.

 

Apple is the pinnacle of what is wrong when designing laptops. If they could solder the damm keyboard keys to the chasis while still resembling a keyboard, they would. They probably will.

 

@Falkentyne
I did this test for you to see and my temp are still perfect. You were right about everything. Sanding is a harder part but still after good sanding you need to have luck to make perfect HS pressure and repaste perfectly.

 

:/ can't see

 

Sorry, my bad
