I've got the chance for buying a 250Gb 960 EVO, after watching some benchmarks and how far is from SATA performance, I was convinced that it would be a good choice. But then I bumped into the lot of overheating complaints. So now I want some advice about this.
I just plan on use it for general gaming and video editing. The only games that I plan on having in the SSD are just Dark Souls III, The Witcher III, GTA V, Player Unknow Battlegrounds and Overwatch for loading times. And I'm just starting on video editing and 3D modeling, and so plan to use AfterEffects, so I don't think that I'm demanding great amounts of data transfer any time soon. That includes the great amount of movies and series that I've gained from familiars and friends that are on my clouds and need to be downloaded from zero, but I think the largest file was around 10Gb and I can direct the download to the Storage HDD (I'm not sure if it still demands a lot of effort from the OS SSD, I'd like to know if it does) .
So I wanna clear my doubts,what do you think? With this kind of use, will I have the overheating issues? Just to be clear, my PC build specs. will be this:
Case: Corsair Carbide 400C (2 fans included)
CPU: Intel Core i3-8100 (Default Cooler)
MB: Now that the new Chipsets have been released, I'm still choosing between Asus Prime Z370-A (No M.2 Heatsink included), Asus ROG Strix B360-F (M.2 Heatsink included), Gigabyte H370 AORUS Gaming 3 WIFI (M.2 Heatsink included), Gigabyte Z370 AORUS Ultra Gaming (No M.2 Heatsink included) and Gigabyte Z370XP SLI (No M.2 Heatsink included).
RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB 16Gb (2X8Gb) 2666Mhz
GPU: Asus Dual GTX 1060 6Gb
HDD: WD Blue 2Tb
PSU: Seasonic FOCUS Plus Gold (Fully Modular) 650W
I would appreciate any suggestions about the build's cooling system so that I won't need to worry about the SSD overheat. And any opinion about the MB would be great too. Thanks for the patience.
