So I've got an AM06 Pro with the 5700u and a Netac 512GB Gen3*4 nvme SSD. This drive has a thick foil pad across it as a heat spreader under it's label but still runs very hot. I am seeing idle temps of 149ºF(65ºC) and so far, the drive has peaked at 176ºF(80ºC) under load. Ambient is only 73ºF(23ºC) and this has me worried one, for hotter days and two, when the system is setup online and taking traffic. The point of this particular system was going to be a web server for a project of mine. I do also have a 2.5" SATA drive attached running at a reasonable 100ish F. Critical temp. on the Netac drive is 84ºC also.

Is this what other AM06 Pro users see on their drives too? My other mini(an AM18) has a heatsink on the nvme, is there one that will fit this one with the wifi card directly underneath like it is?

Attached are a couple screens while idle and running CDM, speeds are perfectly fine IMO but see for yourself, thanks!

My SSD had FOUR layers of stickers on it for starters. I guess an old-style Netac sticker+foil spreader and a new-style Netac sticker and foil spreader. More is not always better.

Anyway, SSD Specs are supposed to be 3500 Read/2500 Write which I can now achieve with the sticker removal and the addition of a heatsink and thermal pads. I'm about 10º down on idle and up to 20º under load. Highest I got now was 160ºF(71ºC) after 3 CDM passes.
