Hey everyone! I'm currently using an AMD Ryzen 7600X with an Asrock PG Riptide B650M motherboard. I monitored the temperatures using a sensor app on Ubuntu and got some readings:
1. GPU temperatures:
- Edge: +35.0°C
- PPT: 18.18 W
2. NVMe SSD temperatures:
- Composite: +30.9°C (low = -20.1°C, high = +83.8°C)
- Sensor 2: +71.8°C
- Critical temperature is at +88.8°C
3. CPU temperatures:
- Tctl: +37.9°C
- Tccd1: +29.5°C
I'm wondering if the temperatures, especially the one from "Sensor 2" showing over 70 degrees, are too high considering I'm not running any intensive software right now. Just to clarify, I'm checking these temps because my PC crashes when the CPU hits 100% load during gaming or heavy parallel computing. Any advice on this would be much appreciated!

You might want to look at the diagnostic data from HWINFO 64 as well. It can provide more info on your system's health, including individual component temperatures. Always a good idea to keep an eye on those!
Those temperatures seem to stem from PCI sensors. You might want to try running 'sudo sensors-detect' to gather more accurate readings. Just to confirm, if Sensor 2 is indeed the NVMe SSD, those numbers could indicate potential overheating.
Using a third-party app on Windows, I also noticed high SSD temps. It's definitely worth checking how your system is set up.
It looks like "Sensor 2" might be indicating the temperature of your NVMe SSD, which can get pretty warm. If that's the case, those temps are a bit high, and it could mean that your case doesn't have enough airflow. You might want to check how well your case is ventilated and consider adding more cooling.
Yeah, I think you're right about the NVMe drive. The CPU temps seem okay, but if the SSD is running hot, you could look into getting a heatsink or a cooling solution for it.
I had a similar issue. Installing a proper heatsink for my Kingston NVMe SSD made a noticeable difference in performance!
Yeah, I did use psensor, and it confirmed that Sensor 2 is my NVMe SSD. Might need to upgrade cooling!
