Aorus Extreme X570 nvme temps


Recommended Posts

Hi,

This motherboard has 3 PCIE 4 NVME slots.

Slot A - Sabrent Rocket 4 2tb.

Slot B - Ironwolf 525 1tb

Slot C - Ironwolf 525 1tb

 

The slots are under the metal heat spreaders on the board. Easy install, with the heat spreaders having preinstalled thermal tape.

However, I'm getting very high temps. I know nvme drives run hotter than norm, however I'm getting the following:

The NVME_vmstorage is the Sabrent in Slot A and I would say this is pretty good.

The Ironwolf 525 drives are idling at 53 degrees, but can hit 58 - 65, to me this isnt normal, can somebody confirm what they're reaching with similar drives? I would prefer to keep the heat spreaders from the motherboard to maintain aesthetics.

 

The temp readin inside the case is 33 degrees, running 8 fans in a push / pull configuration. The only other thing I can think of doing is moving the drives that sit directly in front of the front fan's radiator, to provide better airflow to this area. This is in the hope of cooling down the heat spreaders more, pulling the heat off them.
