Error encountered when SSD becomes unresponsive at 55 degrees Celsius.
Error encountered when SSD becomes unresponsive at 55 degrees Celsius.
Firmware is current. I've installed the same fan as before and used a Samsung drive. Everything seems fine at the moment. I took out the Mobo heatsink since it's flat and doesn't offer much space. T1 and T2 are now about 35, while T3 sits at 47. It feels like a full 10 degrees cooler for the same job. Reached 57 just to be safe, but it didn't freeze. Dropped to 47 after a few minutes. No clear reason yet.
It's interesting how the heatsink affects temperature despite the thermal pad. Did it ensure good surface contact?
Well it was hotter cos there was no fan. But with the fan mount taking the heatsink mount I had to remove it. Either way there is no point having a flat heatsink unless you have a hotspot and other components can deal with the heat of the hotspot. I will try putting a proper heatsink with fins for max surface area. Either way I don't think an SSD should need to be kept at these low temps? I also spotted an issue with drive for desktop. Yesterday I noticed I lose 1300 points in cinebwnch r20 with it on. Today I noticed the explorer freezes with it on also. Still too early to blame drive but I was having the issue and turned it off and the explorer stopped freezing. The cinebwnch thing is confirmed. It is very weird cos drive while installed on c It is set to cache on I and the files it's uploading are also on I. Any ideas?
