Crucial T705 4TB SSD PCIe Gen5 NVMe M.2 Internal Gaming SSD -do they get hot ??

Just bought this bad boy - Crucial T705 4TB SSD PCIe Gen5 NVMe M.2 Internal Gaming SSD -£335 on the bay...
just wondering guys if these run hot.... and if they do will the top most m.2 gen5 slock on the asus x870 hero cool this well or will i need a better m.2 heatsink as i dont want this to throttle, its ment to be the fastest m.2 drive on the market - read speeds @14100 and write speeds at 12500 though im sure i read somewhere that the throttle temps on these are 80cmax.

They do run hot, but should be fine with the board heatsink.

Thanks for letting me know that... hopefully the heatsink is beefy enough lol

Get a Thermalright HR10 2280. Two heat-pipes. Keeps the SSD really cool. I believe under load the SSD will top out at about 50C although I have never seen mine reach that in real world applications. Cost £7. Can't go wrong, really.

As rule with performance going up also max power draw of high end NVMes has been inching upwards.
But that really matters only when hammering drive with continuous/longer term full loads.
And normal home use with OS/application/game loading happens in more or less short bursts, or not at full load levels.

Still actually idle power draws of some top drives without any power saving functions enabled are starting to get to level of the most frugal HDDs.

Or even exceed them...

I can understand high power draws under full load, but these idle readings are getting just ridiculous.

I've got Kingston kc3000 2TB and runs under 30 degrees

This is a great option - I have one on mine and it works wonders!

I wish they still did the HR05 SLI northbridge cooler so i can stick it on my x570 mobo as asus make a fan that really does nothing
