Discussion How can I cool my overheating NVMe cards in my DanCase A4-H20?

[TK503]

I have a MSI MEG Z690i Unify motherboard,

I am using two Samsung 970 Evo M.2 NVMe cards on the single sandwich stack, and am using this M.2 heatsink.

As you can see by this screenshot, my SSDs are reaching absurd temperatures.

What can I try to keep these drives cooler?

More airflow in the NVME area.
Adding an heatsink helps but without airflow it won't dissipate heat that well.

What are you doing to get those temps?

I had similar issues with the MSI MEG Z590I UNIFY, It's a was combination of the NVME heatsink stack trapping heat near the Noctua L9i.

I started to encounter random crashes due to the bottom NVME, I solved the issue by moving to the B560i.

Our test platform is a MSI Unify Z690i. Haven't had anything like that happen on it or a second board. I'm going to test some temps tonight though.

With these temps he very likely did something wrong with the assembly of the SSD stack. No SSD reaches these temps normally.
That is what i told him on reddit too.
