This thread has definitely confirmed my decision that I made many years ago to never again buy an HP computer.

Just don't get one with an Optane drive! I am sure they are fine if set up with a normal drive from scratch. Not all models have optane. Cooling was fine with the original manufacturer set up and drive. But with optane it is less a less flexible laptop.

I think manufacturers are going the Apple way - use it as it is and not upgradeable etc.

Good point! Samsung Magician says the drive is 53 degrees celsius. Speccy says the cpu is 54 degrees celsius.

That would be 127.4° Fahrenheit. If you want to make the degree sign it's, Alt+248 using the number pad.

Is that 53° Celsius or Fahrenheit?

Fahrenheit would be pretty cold

I would call it cool instead of cold. @Hazel123 did say that the fan is running constantly.

Lol! 32 f is freezing point but not minus temperatures :)

53°C is warm I suppose and will make the fans spin. Mine is currently sat at 42°C

It's not too bad. Yes warmer than before and fans running more but not dangerously hot. Maybe a thermal pad will help a bit.

CornishRattler · Feb 10, 2022

Does it fluctuate or pretty constant with normal use?

Hazel123 · Feb 10, 2022

A bit of both if that makes sense. Fairly constant but then settles for a bit. During normal use. I have no doubt if doing something intensive it would be constant for some time and the heat go up.

I just did a search and from what I found the normal temps for a NVMe drive that is not under load is 35-40° C and 60-70° C under load.

Mine is pretty constant at normal use at 42°C Samsung 980 Pro
The 2nd drive in the machine when not doing anything is at 32°C

@Hazel123, it might help lower the temperature if you attach the pad from the old drive.

Winuser · Feb 10, 2022

I just checked the NVMe drive temp on my new desktop with HWiNFO64. The temp is 28° C. The drive temp on my old desktop is 36° C and I'm in the process of encoding a few videos. I'll check my laptop later.

Agree, yes.

Laptops will always run warmer

I'm just curious of what the laptop temp is. I'm running a photo slideshow to warm it up.

Just run a back up

II ran two temp checks on my laptop. The temp when doing the slideshow was 27° C. The temp after doing a backup was 38° C.

Positively frosty

Going by the results on my laptop I think that the temp of 53° C explains why the fan is running on @Hazel123 laptop. Hopefully the heatsink pad will lower the temp enough that the fan won't have to run so much.
