Even undervolted and underclocked, hotspot hits 110 C after 30 seconds of 'torture' with AIDA64, which is also potentially dangerous. RMA and replacement process has started...
X570 will be so expensive that people with Intel are going for the X470+cheapest CPU for upgrade (or USB + flash button, which is more 'risky' depending on the brand).
I have a M.2 Samsung 970 SSD that, according to Samsung Magician is at 51º but all other monitoring software (AIDA, HWiNFO, etc.) display 81º while idle and 95º under load. How is this possible?.
Yes, the other drive is a SSD. I have made some more tests and for some stupid reason the 'Optimize Drives' service is set to Manual, which has a huge impact on everything but benchmarks. After setting it to Auto I reach 110MB/s both ways.
My Seagate M3 HDD USB 3.0 doesn't get past 32MB/s copying files (trying with 30-40GB files) on a clean an updated Windows 10 installation after trying (less) obvious 'fixes' and BIOS settings from dozens of people on different forums. However, if I use HDDTune, CrystalDiskMark multiple benchmark...
Well, now it's reporting all sectors as unreadable/damaged. You could try http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk to save what you can if it can recognize anything logical on it but something physical isn't working.
1 and 2: AIDA64 and HDTune should do.
3) Don't know about WD, with a dirty cheap design I guess it would be doable :).
4) http://support.wdc.com/downloads.aspx?lang=en should be enough these days.
If it spins up it's a gamble, it might work if it's not a mechanical issue. I have an HDD that needs (at least) PCB replacement + firmware and still haven't found any reliable place that can do it.
