Hi, I have an M.2 SSD that I recently migrated to a new motherboard and case. When I was checking all the new hardware and CPU temps I noticed a very large discrepancy between the SSD drive temp 1 and temp 2. I had read that they measure different parts of the drive, but I'm not super well versed in how that works. This drive came from a Dell XPS and is a random model, "PC401 SK Hynix"
The Drive temp 1 is around 45-50 degrees and temp 2 is around 80 degrees at idle. When gaming for about 30min it has gone up to 88-92 degrees on temp 2 but temp 1 remains in the 50-60 range. The drive is between the GPU and CPU cooler but the case has ample airflow.
Crystal Disk only reports the same value as drive temp 1 and says everything is normal, which is why I was inclined to think it was ok. Is this an error? Is my SSD going to explode?
