Sounds like something else was wrong than just a nvme being a little warm. Those can run very hot without any issue and chances are anything you're doing on them will be very unlikely to make them get very warm for any extended period of time. There's a reason why they're sold without heatsinks on generally.

Hi just because NVME drives nowadays don't require as much cooling that doesn't mean they are meant to run with zero airflow.

Generally like cpus they will try to keep themselves under a certain temperature and clock themselves down to work less when approaching said thermal loads. Also high thermals kill the life of the drive in terms of read / writes it will perform.

Here's a good link I found testing these concepts! Hope this helps!

I took the film off yesterday and it ran normal and in a fashion one would expect. No micro-stutters or slowness
