<p>I've learned that temperature sensors, or the software that
reports their output aren't always reliable. I recently put a new
Kingston SSD in my dinosaur. After it was running, apparently
flawlessly for several hours, I checked Psensor. It tells me that
SSD is at 99° C. I shut the machine down, opened it an carefully
touched the SSD. It wasn't even warm to the touch.<img src="cid:16d92598ae6c29dd81d1" alt=""></p>
