SSD temp reading way too hot!

ironmonkey13 · Jun 24, 2015

For some reason my 240GB S60 SSD is reading a temp of 99 Celsius according to HWMonitor and SpeedFan. Is this normal or just a false reading? I'm inclined to believe it's an incorrect reading as the dang thing says 99 under load or not.

Also, in the opinion of the forum gurus, which programs are most reliable/accurate for measuring temps? I use HWMonitor, Speccy and SpeedFan and there seems to be 5 degree or so difference between these three.

My specs:

4790k @ 4.4ghz
z97x-ud5h bk
16gb ddr3 2133mhz
gtx 970 ftw
240gb s60 ssd
2tb wd hdd

Shut it down now. That is 1 degree away from boiling water.
You need to get a fan facing it and blowing air onto it, the thing should be at 50 DEGREES, and 70 degrees MAX!

holy crap

oops, lagged. sorry for double-post.

my question is, is the temp accurate? after you shutdown, did you try to touch it? please dont blame me if you get hurt though, but that is one way to check. i mean, a quick tap/touch, if it's not hot then maybe it's a software problem

unless you are sitting the SSD on top of your video card, that has to be a bogus temp.
SSD typically only generate a couple of watts

He is using his ssd as his CPU heatsink.

I just opened up the pc and touched it. It's not very warm at all so it must be a false reading. I wonder why two programs are both saying 99 though.

Right. The ssd is probably the coolest of the components inside there. Guess I'll just ignore those readings.

If it boots up right away at that temp after your machine is been off for a while, is bogus.

Cons29 · Jun 25, 2015

ssd's are cooler than mech hdd's
so it is most likely bogus. and with that temp it should not be running anymore

try to touch it when it's running and reading that high temp (again dont blame me lol)

I'm using CPUID HWMonitor and there are 2 readings for my SSDs (I have 2 SSDs installed); the readings are assembly temp and drive temp. The assembly temp seems to be reading normal at 30-31C on each; however, the drive temp on both seem to be false readings. The first SSD is reading 1C and the other is reading 99C. Sooo.. yeah.
