Aorus Extreme board - nvme temps

[Geck0]

Hi,

I have an Aorus X570 Extreme, with 3 nvme slots containing a Sabrent Rocket 4 2tb and two Ironwolf 525 1tb each in the other two slots.

The Sabrent in the first slot, idles at approx. 46 degrees.

The Ironwolf 525s idle at approx. 56.

 

I would expect the nvme to sit at a higher temp to a typical SATA SSD, which I have as an Ironwolf 520 480g idling at 35 degrees.

The nvme drives sit under heatspreaders on the motherboard. The thermal pads were pre-installed on the heatspreaders.

To me, this does not appear to be normal temps, but I've also not had a setup like this before. 

Can anybody give a comparison of their Aorus board with nvme under the heat spreader?

 

I'm wondering if I need to buy aftermarket pads, but I would have to take apart my PC to access these slots, which I would prefer to avoid if unneccesary.

This can vary with the devices used, but seems a little high, my NVMe devices without heatsink idle around 45/50C, with heatsink around 35C.
