65-70°C, nvme SSD. It's hiding just above the video card and doesn't really get much airflow. WD850X or whatever it is. Pcie4 gets hot, pcie5 are worse. And it throttles at these temps. Slower drives stay cooler, and you have to enable temp monitoring quite often so it can go hidden.

It's just the way people see it as a discount on the initial purchase but then count it as free money when spent. It's one of the other, not both.
