Normal
I have Metalfish S3 since 2019.Ryzen 5 1600GTX 1660 SuperMSI B450i Gaming PlusThe thermals are very bad, especially for the m2.nvme SSD. I had my SSD died in less than 2 years.After replacing, I started monitoring closely the m2.nvme SSD temp and made the following observations:1. The m2.nvme SSD temp will be very similar to the CPU temp, because it is right behind it on my motherboard.2. The way to keep temps to more normal range is to set in bio CPU fan and top SYS fan to FULL SPEED always. This will keep the CPU and SSD temps to about 65 C under load and 50 C on idle.3. Setting the GPU fan to full speed helps a little but not as much as the point 2.I feel this is a design issue where the m2.nvme SSD is sandwiched between a hot CPU and GPU. Also not being able to mount a bigger CPU cooler contributes to this problem.Im wondering whether there is enough clearance to add a heatsink to the SSD?
