nvme-cli temp issues

English Hardware
1

Hi there

I’m using Tumbleweed installed on an nvme Samsung 980 that the firmware is up to date on

However the drive reports its temp at 84c, if I reboot into windows (installed on its own drive) or even just reboot TW the temp reports normally (roughly 40c) the drive is not unbareably how to the touch so I do not believe this 84 c report is correct

Paste output of sensors and nvme cli

Should I open a bug or am I missing something?

Here is the output of nvme cli right after a reboot

Hi
All good here with my nvme devices, all run about 27/28 C;


nvme smart-log /dev/nvme0n1
Smart Log for NVME device:nvme0n1 namespace-id:ffffffff
critical_warning			: 0
temperature				: 27 C (300 Kelvin)

sensors nvme-pci-0100


nvme-pci-0100
Adapter: PCI adapter
Composite:    +26.9°C  (low  = -20.1°C, high = +74.8°C)
                       (crit = +79.8°C)

Hi
Does the device have a heatsink?

It does in the form of a thermal pad and cover from the motherboard I can touch the drive when it reports at 84c without any discomfort or issue so I don’t believe it is actually this hot (and again a simple reboot seems to reset the reported temperature every time) I went ahead and ordered a different heat sink just to be sure though

Hi
Does sound more like a bug, I se this thread: Archived - Samsung Community
