The host of the YouTube channel der8auer EN found out today how much better the MP700 Elite is with the new controller. In general, it should be much better than its predecessors in terms of energy consumption and heating. But what actually?
The old PCIe 5.0 SSD controller was heating up to 60 degrees or more very quickly after just 4 minutes. Under load the temperature was over 80 degrees.
The situation has definitely improved with the new controller. After 4 minutes the temperature was 53 degrees and under load it reached a maximum of 80 degrees and then the temperature dropped.
Specialist also released the MP700 Elite with M.2 cooler. After 3 minutes the temperature was 35 degrees, under load the maximum was 64 degrees.
The price of PCIe 5.0 SSDs is still high. Therefore, it is better to buy PCle Gen4x4 NM790 SSD instead; it’s half the cost and won’t be particularly slow. Also suitable for gaming PC.
