I've got an ROG STRIX Z790-I GAMING WIFI with a Crucial T700 1Gb NVME that never goes beyond the mid-50's Celsius. Previously had it in an Aorus Z790 Master and it never broke 50 Celsius in that board. If you're thinking of using a Gen 5 NVME in your motherboard, go for it, the speeds (11,700 Read/9,600 Write) are just FUN!
Clearly Win 11 24H2 works with a Crucial T700 which is a Gen 5 SSD but take care.......... I own a 1 To Crucial T700 with heatsink and the performance is not at the expected level described in the technical documentation. I use the SSD as a "system SSD" with Win 11 24H2 and numerous softwares and games are installed. During light works the SSD temperature is contained between 60 an 65°c, once the load is higher the temperature increases up to 82°. The transfer speeds given in the technical documentation for sequential reading is 12400 Mb/s and the for sequential writting is 11800 Mb/s. My experience is that when the temperature is around 60° the speeds are close to the documentation values, during heavy load the temperature raise up to 82°c and the speeds are lower than 5 Mb/s (divided by 2.5). This look like to a temperature control loop based on the frequency..... Clearly the T700 SSD does not meet the announced values, my advice is to save money and choose another SSD, Gen 4 for exemple. Having this SSD I have to manage it and I am going to buy an active heathsink. I hope that I will be able to maintain the temeperature lower than 65°.....
I KNOW it's a complete waste of money, but I just bought a Crucial New T705 4TB PCIe Gen5 NVMe M.2 SSD - Up to 14,100 MB/s. I'll try the heatsink cover that came with it the Motherboard, but I expect I will have to buy a much beefier M.2 heatsink to keep it under 81C where it starts throttling. On another note, I LOVE ITX builds and this is the 1st time I've seen this Corsair case and really like it!
How is it? Is it reliable and feasible? I’m about to buy the 2tb coz my gen4 mp600 died, i want to use it as a boot drive and install most of the softwares on it, my pc airflow I would say about average.
@@MoatazK It's a great drive...That I don't recommend to 99% of users. If you don't work with massive size video files, 4K HDR, 8K HDR, then you don't need this drive. I didn't need this drive, even tried to cancel the order before it shipped, but it was to late and I didn't want to go through the hassle of sending it back. SO I recommend you getting a 4TB Gen4 M.2, it should even be cheaper than the T705 and you WILL NOT notice ANY difference!
@@DizConnectedyou would be much better buying enterprise SSDs. Optanes are great system drives and if you pair them with U2/U3 big capacity drive that doesnt drop the speed after cache is gone you are golden.
Hello there I just wanted to offer my two cents on some of the concerns I have in this video, I want to start by saying this is the first video I’ve seen of yours and I have subscribed to your channel. This is by no means intended as hate or disrespect, more just wanting to give some feedback and help improve the channel. 1. I noticed while you used a lot of synthetic loads to put pressure on the drive there was no real world sustained use case pushing this drive and truly seeing how it performs in the short-medium term at least. Might I suggest running this drive as the main windows drive as you work on it to edit the videos, while downloading a game and uploading a TH-cam video? Just truly push this drive and find out it’s limit both architecturally and thermally. 2. I noticed you used Fortnite and unigine heaven in this video. Fortnite is not a good use case to show for gaming as it runs on practically all systems (including smartphones) with no real issues whatsoever for drives. I think trying out games that could have poor optimisation on pc such as any of the Sony titles or maybe games that sony showed off with their own nvme drive like ratchet and clank rift apart this would’ve been a better real world choice. I think using unigine heaven was a bad move, you could’ve used unigine superposition instead it’s also free and a far better option to test hardware like this and push your pc to its limits therefore generating a lot of heat increasing the ambient temps inside the case. I’m not sold on the fact heaven did this sufficiently. In conclusion I love your voice, Narrative and the format of the videos, it’s always nice to see a fellow Brit makes videos with tech and talk about this stuff I feel TH-cam is just absolutely flooded with Americans and Canadians whom opinions on hardware don’t always match up what we feel in Europe due to the prices and availability differences of hardware of the two continents. I hope you take on board some of my criticisms and that it makes the channel better. Great video and I wish you luck in the future!
It was used for gaming and downloading and all the things you have mentioned but I just didn't include all that in video form as it would make it far longer.
Great analysis. So if you were to choose, would you put the boot drive on a gen 4 or gen 5 M.2? And also, which ever one you recommend, would you also recommend putting ONLY the Windows boot files on that M.2 and nothing else?
Bought a T705 Gen5 M.2 and a 4080 Super, but reading the mobo manual just realized I can only use one at it's full potential and it's killing me trying to decide. I saw your video basically showing there is really only a 10% GPU decrease. Just so hard to choose if read/write speeds at almost double the rate is worth the sacrifice. Do you have a personal preference on this?
Resort to your motherboards manual in pcie NVmE config. It will tell you what each lane will effect if there is any change. But from what I’ve seen a pcie 5.0 on a cpu lane will not effect the pcie x16 for gpu
Seagate is a very well established hard drive manufacturer since the 90’s. They are solid, just Gen5 needs revising due to throttling problems. They get hot too fast to be reliable for a boot drive. Personally I’d avoid Gen5 nvmes for the foreseeable future, not that we even need these speeds for day to day things.
Hi,ok : Could you show the temperature difference between the original Lian Li Lancool 3 and SL-INF 140 case fans, and between SL-INF 140 and Lian Li SL120 INF in Aio and case? :)
I'm very happy with my 2TB Samsung 990Pro as OS drive, powering my 5800X3D System. It sits comfortably under a Acidalie VB01 in Black and runs more than well. No need for hot and expensive Gen5, wouldnt make any meaningful difference. JFYI: Samsung finally has brought the 4TB Model to the market.
@@rickfelz7148 and where exactly is the "copium" hidden in this comment? c'mon tell me, i'd like to know, where i hid it, i've been searching for for weeks, but cant find it...and yet here you are, claiming to have found it...
I agree. I have a 990 Pro 4TB. And yes Gen 5 drives really really really are pointless for a majority of people at this moment. Drive speeds really are no longer the bottleneck and a super fast Gen 4 drive is more than plenty for everything. Maybe in 3-5 years time we'll see a need for Gen 5, but right now it's a waste of money.
@@serolog They dont matter other than a few very specific workstation tasks, where their speed uplift does make a difference... But in most scenarios, they dont make a significant difference, as in most real world applications and usages, there isnt even much of a difference between a SATA SSD and a GEN3 or 4 NVME, other than pure direct data copying or maybe boot up speeds...with the latter just differentiating in just a mere few seconds... So NO just watching at the pure, mostly synthetic speeds and waste a crapton of money on it and having to deal with the drawbacks... Why should anyone do this, when Gen4 is more than just sufficient, costs half of Gen5 and doesnt get nearly as hot?
Correction: At 4:44, TPP says "the max temp is 75 C, which is 10 degrees less than the max that would cause a problem" NOTE: 85 degrees C is the max NON-OPERATING temperature, and the max operating temperature (as shown at 3:47) is 70 degrees C. So at 75 C, it is running 5 degrees hotter than the specified operating temperature range
I have a Gen 5 Drive and a Gen 4 Drive as well, Should I put Operating System on Gen 4 and games on Gen 5? How do you think I should set that up to Utilize both drives?
Put the Gen 5 SSD in the high speed PCIE slot closest to the CPU. Make it the boot drive since it’s the fastest SSD. As far as games go put them on the drive that has the most capacity. You don’t want to completely fill up an SSD because it makes them run slower over time.
You probably should not set the Gen5 as the boot drive because you may want to upgrade that later on as speeds increase. This way you won't need to waste time cloning the boot drive
Hi iv just bought a strix b650e-e board it has to gen 5 slots and 2 gen 4 slots. Problem is the botton gen 5 slot shares lanes with gpu. Question is shall i put my os on gen 5 top slot snd use a gen 4 slot for my games. Please help lol
Does the person recording this video realize that stickers conduct heat poorly? If you are already creating such resci, it may be worth considering what you are doing to avoid misleading people. All stickers and foils should be removed before installing the cooler, and this applies to the radiator and the m.2 disk.
Does the person making this comment realise that some of the "stickers" are copper backed and conductive. Additionally, there's a reason the manufacturers tell you not to remove them.
@@TheProvokedPrawn If I see correctly, the sticker was on both the disk and the heat sink. If the stickers contained copper, they would probably conduct electricity, which is an easy way to short circuit. Can you write where in the instructions for the motherboard and this SSD it says not to remove stickers and foils?
so i got 3 crucial t705 gen 5 nvmes in raid 0 but its on a gen4 board because i have a14900k right now but its on ddr4 and i havent decided if im just going to upgrade my intel setup to a ddr5 or really for almost the same amount of money i can build a 7800x3d + ddr5 + ddr5 motherboard but anyway im getting 22,000mb read and write and its so freakin fast on everything in windows i mean it just feels insane i dont care what people say windows snappyness increases
I decided to go with gen 4 for my AM5 build. Works great :) 7800x3d with 7900 xtx and 32gb ram, 2 tb storage.

Yes, but you can then only use 8 lanes for your GPU slot with Intel CPUs
