I just checked the temps on my SSDs and HDDs and found the OS drive is running very hot at 128 degrees C while all the other drives are running at 33 degrees C. What could be causing it to run so hot? The drive in question is a Patriot Wildfire. Probably not the best choice for an OS drive but I didn't know much about SSDs when I built this computer and am still learning.

That must be an error in the temperature measurement. 128C is hot enough that any electronics wouldn't operate.

Thanks for the reply. I thought that looked extremely high. Do the other temps look normal or do they appear to be in the high range as well (33 degrees C)?
