Any idea why the count is increasing when I have shutdown normally? Is it a controller drive issue? I’m on 6.6.7. 

I’m also getting very high temp since installing the M2 SSD, with today getting up to 71degrees celcius. When I first installed it was below 40 degrees celcius. It fluctuates quite a bit between 50-70 now. Is this normal? It is a 512GB 970pro Samsung nvme M2 drive.

From the Spec's on this drive:

 

Environmental Specs

Operating Temperature

0 - 70 ℃ Operating Temperature

 

You have exceeded the temperature limit.  It might be a self-protection circuit inside the drive.  First thing I would suggest is that you open up the case and clean all dust and/or dirt out.  Make sure that all case fans are running.  

More as a point of information, this is a active thread in this sub-forum.  You might want to follow it:

 

   

 

It’s weird because everything is new. New mobo new case new M2 stick. Wonder what’s causing it to heat up. Some say is controller temps and not the stick temp itself. Have not touch it physically to see the temps..

As for the shutdown issue some say is a controller driver issue. I’m not exactly sure what that means though. 

For servers, the recommended practice is for all of the air to come in over the drives first at the front of the case and then be exhausted out of the rear of the case.  This means that all case openings behind the HD's should be blocked and all fans in that area exhausting.  I understand with other setups, where there are powerful (heat producing) GPU's, this may not be the case. 

Yes that is exactly right. My hdd temps are better than ever. I’ve read that the temp reported might be the controller temps and not the M2 drive temp itself. Is that possible?

You could try to buy a cooler for your m.2 drive. I have an icy box passive cooler attached to my Samsung 970 Evo Plus and it is around 40°C
