voodoodrulYes, the AIO is pulling cool air in. Back and top fans are exhaust. Temps look good for everything except the SSD, really. At least IMO
jankersonvoodoodrulYes, the AIO is pulling cool air in. Back and top fans are exhaust. Temps look good for everything except the SSD, really. At least IMO Mine doesn't have that issue, but then I have an AORUS Z390 Master MB (Has the M.2 covers also) and I am air cooling (NH-D15) and have better airflow in the case because of it. And the case has excellent airflow to begin with. It also helps that my CPU cooler is right over top of the M.2 Drive. Would help YOU to move the CPU Radiator to the top of the case and run clean front intake fans that would blow cool air right over that area.

Also, I lied. Found out the motherboard heatsinks are "active" cooled, with the paltry, tiny fans they use. I think that's doing more harm than good honestly since that fan sits directly behind the hottest part of the GPU. I've removed all heatsinks from the mobo and I'm running more tests
voodoodrulAnother problem is that the chipset sits directly behind the GPU and just gets roasted. Even with the side panel off completely, the chipset being just a fraction of an inch away from the GPU means it gets crazy hot. I'm not sure any amount of airflow will help the chipset due to proximity. It reaches 80c with the side panel off. It's slowly increasing
voodoodrulCase open, M.2 heatsinks removed. The amount of heat blowing up from the back of the GPU is other worldy. Poor chipset.. With the case open, I opened my window to let cool air in. Barely moved the chipset temp and the others stayed the same. So I said screw it, open the case, add a fan blowing directly on the SSD. Chipset isn't going to get much help but whatever. Still, abysmal thermals due to the inferno GPU. You can see the drop in drive temps from the fan. The chipset continues to rise. SSD temps remain stable at this point, never dropping. For the lulz - wide open case, fan just sitting there, but spinning about 2000 rpm I would need to do a bunch of changes I think. First, I need to swap cases to something like an H710i to top mount the rad. Second, to make a shroud that blocks the air from the back of the gpu and routes it somewhere safer. Third, consider water cooling. I'll need to look for a blower-style card. Getting the air out of the case and not blowing it all over the other components makes things a lot more practical.
voodoodrulI wouldn't consider the Asus X570-E a low-end board. It's just got an uphill battle with the fact a furnace is blowing directly on it. Pretty much all the x570 boards I see would be prone to the same problem. The chipset is in the same general location and almost all of them have the same kind of active cooling.

Replacing the component won't matter much, other than layout and luck. There are two ways to handle the heat- make it shed far more heat than the component could ever produce (by orders of magnitude) or reduce the heat it receives. A blower style card would solve that. Otherwise I'd need to find some perfect combination of layout that just happens to dump heat onto the board in a location that has no components that matter. In the end, I'll be selling/returning this card.
ty_ger07What's the problem?No problem! NAND likes to run hot. It lasts longer when it is able to be hot. Leave it alone.
SeanDude05NAND does, but the controller does NOT. It’ll thermal throttle and then it won’t matter if the NAND likes being hot or not.

And his NAND has the best endurance near 80c. Why do they advertise 70c? Very weird. Don't assume. It is has been tested to throttle at 79c. He didn't say that it is throttling.
