Nvme ssd.

[Sly]

So guys today i monitored my nvme ssd temp and it hangs around 55-60c . Is it normal temperature for nvme ssd and above which temp, it starts thermal throttling?

[Supafly]

It's fine. 60-70 should be fine on every NVme drive I can think of. Look up the exact model you have to see it's operating Temps.

Even if it starts to throttle you really won't notice unless you doing benchmarks or something.

EDIT: From my drives specs

OPERATING TEMPERATURE
0 - 70 ℃


Right now all of my Nvme drives are at <30c with the exception of my OS drive that is at 36c. I have heatsinks on all of them only so I don't need to replace the motherboards thermal pads for its in built heatsinks when I remove them. I also have good cooling/air flow but again if they were to hit 70 I really wouldn't notice the throttling anyway.

That sounds a little hot, my nvme SSD's are around 40°c but get close to 50°c when gaming.

I do have 3 industrial fans in each computer though.

55 at idle indicates your case has no airflow. Can be proved if you remove the sides and use some house fan (or manually move air with a newspaper) for a few minutes and it drops to 30.

If that's under load, it's okay.

By "hangs around", do you mean it tends to run within that temperature range, or that things freeze when it reaches that point? I'd be surprised if it's the latter but be clear on the wording so there's no confusion.

What drive(s)? With what drive cooling, if any? What case with what case cooling?

My two NVMe drives (SN850X) run at ~50C (OS) and ~55C (secondary). They use the motherboard heatsinks and the secondary drive has a smaller one. This is much warmer than all the SATA SSD/HDDs I had/have which initially had me investigate, as those idled around 30C and peaked around 45C. Some drives will just run warm, and some people will have systems that put them near the higher end of typical. As long as the drives aren't throttling, and nobody can give you the temperature this happens at without knowing your exact drive, then nothing is wrong.

Idle especially doesn't mean a whole lot. Peak temperature is what matters. A lot of people tend to have opinions about what temperatures certain things should run at based on what they feel they want, or based on what their other things of that hardware type tend to run at. This method will be ignoring that things like CPUs and NVMe SSDs in particular are on a serious upward trend with temperatures.

So I'd instead look into typical ranges others are seeing for your specific drives (reviews and/or anecdote from other users), and then find out its maximum rated temperature, and use that to establish a baseline. You may find you're more on the higher end of the typical range but there is no exact point you "should" be at so it's fine if you're within spec.

NVMe drives run hot and are made to. Running them cool is actually less than ideal for them and can cause data to not store as long in a powered off state. To be clear, this is not a real world concern, we are talking lab level concern. Your data is fine. Not really a concern for most; but is factually true. The drives will store their electron state best when the data is stored into (literally) hot NAND, and the NAND will store that state longest without power when in a cold environment. Wiring the same data to Cold NAND and then storing in a warm environment would produce a drive that will store the data for a shorter time frame (even if both make it decades or more). They just operate better hot. Don't be too worried unless they are hitting near 70+, the 50s and 60s are fine.

It runs within that temperature range. My ssd is wd black sn770 1 tb nvme.
