@Walter-SF, Welcome to the HP Support Community!
Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding a high temperature for Sensor 2 of your SSD!
We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.
The screenshot indicates a high temperature for Sensor 2 of your SSD (NVMe NX-256 2280), showing 70°C, while Sensor 1 is at a normal level (42°C). Here's what you can do:
Ensure Proper Ventilation
- Make sure your system is well-ventilated and free of dust.
- If you're using a laptop, avoid placing it on soft surfaces like beds or cushions, which block airflow.
Check Thermal Pads
- SSDs often come with thermal pads for heat dissipation. If your SSD lacks one or the existing pad isn't effective, consider adding or replacing it.
Verify Workload
- If the SSD is under heavy load (e.g., running intensive applications or frequent file transfers), it will generate more heat. Monitor and limit such activities if possible.
Update Firmware
- Check if there are firmware updates for your SSD. Manufacturers sometimes release updates to optimize performance and manage heat.
Use Cooling Solutions
- Consider adding a heatsink specifically designed for NVMe SSDs, which can significantly reduce temperatures.
Check System Settings
- Ensure your system's power settings aren't overdriving the SSD. For example, using "High Performance" mode may increase power delivery and heat.
Let me know if you need further assistance!
Take care and have an amazing day!
