  1. I changed the SSD to a Samsung 970 EVO a year ago and my i164 has worked without any blue screens for a long time. However late in July this year, the BIOS suddenly stopped recognizing the SSD from time to time after reboots. I have now installed a new Samsung 980 Pro with a Heatsink and I see that the temperature reported by Samsung Magician is much lower than before. For the 970 EVO the temperature almost always was above 60°C. Now for the 980 Pro with a heatsink it is mostly below 50°C.  Hopefully this will make the SSD last longer.

    The SSD is between the motherboard and GPU board. They may have blocked the air flow. I just received my A200. I'll definitely keep an eye on the SSD temp. On my Mac Pro 6,1, I upgraded the stock SSD to Samsung SSD and it was hot. I then put a heatsink on it and the temperature drops a lot. 

    A heatsink is probably something I should try out.

    If this is a heat related issue with the SSD, won't the replaced SSD fail also sooner or later?

    That is why I have changed the cooling presents in iCUE - The default setting leads to high SSD temperatures that I guess will shorten the SSD lifetime. I recommend setting a custom cooling presents with a fixed speed of 65%. The fixed speed is actually not fixed. If necessary the fan will still go to higher speed automatically. The fixed value indicates the lower bound.

    Thanks Caliente,

    Any chance to have a tutorial how to replace the M.2 ourselves? for the folks with expired warranty.
    My One Pro's M.2 controller sits around 80-90c idle and occasionally tops 100 - then the whole machine freezes / shuts off, which 100% is the cause for my shut-downs.

    I really love my C1 and want to keep on using it as it has all the power I need, just need to sort this heat issue out.

     

    Thanks!

    Such high drive temperatures indicates that something is wrong. Have you by any change disabled the iCUE application? As far as I know the iCUE application needs to run to get the main fan running.

  5. I installed the Samsung driver after hancui97's recommendations. I also installed Samsung Magician to monitor the temperature of the SSD. This is what I found when testing different iCUE (v4.14.179) cooling presets :

    iCUE Cooling presets SSD Temperature (°C)
    default 72
    Fixed 58% 63
    Fixed 75% 55

    This is under relatively low disk activity and with very low GPU activity. 

    According to this article the Samsung SSD is designed to operate at temperatures ranging from 0°C to 70°C.

    Do you have any updates as to confirming if replacing the boot SSD drive fix the issue?

    It is now about 6 weeks since I replaced the SSD and I have not got any BSODs. I have used the computer approximately 8 hours 5 days a week - But I guess that I have to use the computer for more than 18 months to sure if the replacement has fixed the issue or not. 

  7. I have installed ICUE 4 and changed the Cooling Presets to Custom (58% fixed speed). The noise level is only slightly higher than default. The nice thing is that the average CPU Coolant temp is 10-12C degrees lower than before. This will most likely reduce the stress on the SSD. Please note that all though the setting is fixed, it will adapt to higher speed if necessary. Before the change I typically saw a temp of 42C. Now it is about 30C. Perhaps Corsair should change the defaults to a higher fan speed?

  8. I experienced the same issue. The BSODs started to occur more and more frequently. Each time the BIOS couldn't locate the SSD for a while. I managed to solve the issue by replacing the SSD with a Samsung 970 EVO Plus 2TB. The replacement was a bit difficult, so Corsair should make a guide. In short as I remember it, it was done like this:

    1. Open the top lid by pressing the button in the back. 
    2. Detach the fan cable and put the fan aside.
    3. Open side panel where the graphics card is located.
    4. Unscrew something like 6 to 8 screws to losen the card.
    5. Detach the wide cable to the left that I think connects the main board and graphics card.
    6. Then it is possible to partially lift the graphics card up to reveal the SSD in the middle. 
    7. The SSD is fastened with one golden screw. Unscrew and pull the SSD out.
    8. Replace with the new SSD and put it all together again.
