SSD Operating Temperatures
Temperature Measurements
During our test benchmarks stress tests with a high-stress workload, we monitor the SSD temperature. The controller reaches a temp of roughly 75 Degrees, which is high yet normal for an enthusiast class product.
Under extreme load the controller heats up even further though, 80 Degrees C. For high-speed enthusiast class performance SSDs we do recommend you to use a heatsink, as provided by pretty much any motherboard manufacturers these days.
