[SOLVED] DELL Inspiron Gaming PCIe M2 SSD high temperature

I have installed Archlinux on my Laptop DELL Inspiron 15 7000 Gaming and on windows, there is no problem with the SSD PCIe but on linux the temperature is very high
PS: I think that the PCIi SSD is not yet NVME
Is there solution to make the temperature lower?

How did you install ArchLinux?
If its NVMe or not you'd certainly know if you installed ArchLinux.

I have installed Archlinux from command line,  I am quite sure that it's not yet a NVME because the result of lsblk is

└─sdb5   8:21   0   531M  0 part

But the real problem is that the temperature of the SSD on the PCIe is all the time high

Re: [SOLVED] DELL Inspiron Gaming PCIe M2 SSD high temperature

That's true. I have a bunch of nvme drives, and it's a pain writing nvme0n1p2 and so, it can't be missed smile
That's M2 SSD. About temps, i don't know. Have you installed sensors?

The part of the Laptop where the M2 SSD is located heats up

Re: [SOLVED] DELL Inspiron Gaming PCIe M2 SSD high temperature

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Hddtemp
https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/any/iotop/

Also mount with "discard" and "noatime" or "relatime,lazytime" to reduce writing.

<50° is btw. not even close to "overheating" for an SSD (they can take far more heat than HDDs) - check whether there's high load by any process - notably the baloo/tracker/zeitgeist/iscanthediskpermanently nonsense is prone to cause this (esp. when they go wild)
You can also just try to measure the load on an idle system (multi-user.target, no GUI, no DE etc.) to see whether that makes a difference.

The answer to "hot" is always between "no fan" an "much load" and the resolution is to either bump the fan or drop the load.
Thus figure the actual system load - whether i's GPU, CPU or I/O.

I'm not sure whether there's any PM support for pre NVMe's :-(

Install TLP https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/TLP resolve the problem!

Thanks for your help! big_smile

Re: [SOLVED] DELL Inspiron Gaming PCIe M2 SSD high temperature

Notice that TLP is the notorious cause for all sorts of troubles (input devices or wifi failure etcetc.)
If you want to figure which PM configuration is the crucial one and in general more control on this, try powertop.
