Gigabyte Aorus Master Getting Hot

Silicon Si · 30 Dec 2019 at 14:57

The two components under the camera icon are getting up to 85 to 90 degrees C when scanned by my fluke IR thermometer, there are also two more under the ssd, as you can see the ssd has been getting hot at about 61 C on idle I did have the gigabyte heat sink on it juts took it off to look at it , I have since moved the ssd to the lower socket under the GPU and its running much cooler now.
The question is should those 2 components be getting that hot, the system has an i7 9700k with a mild overclock of up to 4.3 gig the water loop temp at idle is about 35 C the case has 2 x 200mm fans at the front.

Thanks in advance

Not sure about the temps but `some` m2 slots run at different speeds and/or disable sata ports
Not saying yours will but might be worth checking up on

His should all be running at x4 pci~e
I have the aorus ultra and all 3 slots are x4 his board is one step up from mine~better vrm/power delivery and faster ether net otherwise pretty similar
And yes using all 3 M2 slots disables the 5th and 6th sata far as I remember

As to the other components not got an IR thermometer sorry
