Sharing my experience with cooling a Samsung 970 pro
After reading about the nand flash on m.2 ssd`s and negatives on cooling them
Apparently they last longer if written while warm
Decided to find a method to cool the controller only
Got some 1mm thick thermal grizzly thermal pad
And got it sandwiched between the ssd and the motherboard with a tad of kryonaut
The space was 3.05mm
The pads by themselves will barely contact the ssd
With a pinch of thermal paste i could feel a tiny bit of resistance with the ssd flush on the motherboard
Temperatures obtained after system idle with one run of crystaldiskmark
On Asrock x370 taici
Before max : 75 controller 60 flash
After max: 63 controller 51 flash
Idle after :44 controller 36 flash
All of this is at 19 degrees ambient
