I regularly review my hardware performance so I know what's normal for my custom build, and what isn't.
Normally my Crucial MX300 275GB SSD is running at 30 degrees Celsius or lower, and the max recorded temperature was 44 degrees Celsius according to Crucial Storage Executive.
I recently got into the business of GPU mining and with fans running at max it reaches about 70 degrees Celsius. Today I noticed it was running 2 or 3 degrees Celsius higher than normal, nothing unusual. I imagine that's just due to the hot weather in the UK today. But then I notice my SSD is running at 54 degrees Celsius, which is most definitely not normal for it.
Just yesterday my computer suddenly slowed down so much, the mouse took more than a few seconds to respond, applications took minutes to respond, and suddenly after 10 odd minutes it resumed working. In the Event log I found some errors with my GPU, nvd.... something. I reinstalled drivers using GeForce Experience and it asked me to restart to finish, something it has never asked me to do before. Anyway I restart and end up getting a BSOD, check exception or something.
It booted normally after that. After some diagnostics windows found errors with my SSD, and so did CMD using CHKDSK. Windows promted to restart to repair and I did and it seemed fine after that.
I don't know what's up with the high temps with my SSD, I stopped mining and after about 15 minutes of writing this its temps have dropped to 47 degrees Celsius.
Any tips?
