M.2 SSD Temps with Corsair 280x case amd ITX mobo

Hello guys,

 

For those who have a build with the 280x case with a mini ITX motherboard, and are using a m2 SSD (which is located on the back of the motherboard lol): are you guys having issues with high temperatures?

 

My SSD is getting temps as high as 78 degrees around 25 degrees ambient). That is causing crashes and "flickering" (screens blackout for one millisecond), and its very annoying.

 

I ordered one of these:

 

I hope I can drop these temps 10ºC at least (according to the ssd manufacturer, the max working temp is 70ºC).

 

Does someone have any other ideas to drops this temps down?

yeah it's pretty much heat trapped between your mobo and psu i would assume. best solution i could possibly think of is getting the thing out of harm's way. pick yourself a m.2 riser module and place your ssd into the back compartment. Edited July 26, 2020 by Infin1tum

Thank you so much!
