Let me introduce you to Kingston's most prodigious KC3000 NVMe SSD, the PCIe Gen 4.0 SSD is one of the fastest NVMe SSDs we have tested so far, with a transfer rate of 7000 MB/sec. Not only does it look very attractive, but it also functions swift and fast.

Indeed. Im especially carefull since i watched jaytwocents video about kingston fury rgb where the ssd throttled due heat.

Yes this was a teaching video to me as well

It's on the high side, (but based on that graphene sticker cooling as we test as the product is delivered). The product hardly throttles really, you can see that in the linear write test.Once housed under a mobo heatsink, this is a non issue.

Thanks for clarification! Since I have still no experience with M2 SSDs on the mainboard, this is somewhat comforting to know.

@fantaskarsef is not as tragic even for the case , if you wish you can stick a heatsink and lower it a lot but still the amount of heat dumped in your case will be identical as far the ssd uses the same wattage to operate if it operates at 50 c or 76 the waste heat energy it will put out is the same what changes is how much you spread it . There are no magic either an ssd using 10 watts full tilt dicipates less heat than a 1050ti sitting idle ! Is just that a tiny controller gets hot . I would never worry about how much heat a single ssd dumps in my case , i would only worry if it throttles .

Hey guys, i've noticed in the Crystaldiskmark benchmarks half the photos under the Random 4K Q32 are T16 and the others T1..so not comparable at that and it's not stated anywhere obviously for the average reader
