Ok so I'm about to buy my rig and one of the features of y system would be that my OS win 10 would be ran on the ssd m.2.
I read that this ssd has thermal throttling issues though so is there any way i can prevent this? Also is it stable and or safe to have my os run on this m.2 ssd?
This is my build: http://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/8PmH2R
I'm open to buy aditional case fans or replace even for better performance but id like the system to still be silent or near silent at least.

Unless you are doing super heavy weight disk operations there is a decent chance you'll never push this SSD hard enough to make it throttle.

well I will use this m.2 for heavy taxing games, dont think that would affect the ssd, for the OS, livestreaming which is think is cpu dependant.. The only other thing i can think of is that im working on a project that requires me to back up constantly in winrar files, and they are files of 40gb in a rar file. not sure how else i could push it but in general i guess theres no throttling issues with this i take it?

'' m.2 for heavy taxing games'' a ssd is no better then a platter drive

''In terms of raw video game performance our conclusion is that upgrading to an SSD made absolutely no difference in gameplay performance''

''We can definitively state that our gaming performance as shown prior on our HDDs is exactly the same under the SSDs; there is no difference in gameplay performance. ''

also you may want to see how the m2 is shared in the pcie lanes ? with it your vid card may only run at x8 speed [not a biggie ]

Thanks everyone. So i guess no stability issues when installing the OS on this thanks :)
Also @junkey with gaming i meant strictly for games that have tons of loading times, ssd's do benefit from that, i didnt mean fps increases or anything, anyways thanks!

thing is you know it a thing , but all you can do is get it try it and see how it works out for you .. if it works out and you don't have issue the its good if you have issue then you know better next time in the end all you can do is base things on your own use experiences if you don't try it and see you really don't know

good luck

by the way I never seen where my platter drives were slow to load anything unless the drive was bad or something was wrong in the system preventing it to
