Kingston NVMe overheating - Motherboard issue

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hello there,

I have a brand new B450 Fatal1ty ITX/ac motherboard with a Kingston A2000 NVMe. The temperatures of that drive, according to Kingston SSD Manager, are always in a critical range, around 89-90° Celsius, while the data sheet has temperatures up to °70C:

The drive seems to be throttled constantly and is very slow, much slower than HDD. The mainboard just sits on a cardboard box for now, the M.2 has enough air ventilation.

How would I know if this is a M.2 issue or a motherboard issue?

Many thanks in advance,

ze Hans
