970 EVO Plus running hot

[Thoma5]

I have transferred my EVO to a new notebook and since the SSD runs extreme hot >70c at times and then it takes ages for it cool down. That in turn heats the new notebook also up beyond normal temperatures. 

Any ideas, help is appreciated.

Nathan,
thanks for getting back to me, I have been in touch with them already. It seems operating temperatures of up to 85c are normal/acceptable.
Which is OK I guess, just not in a laptop/notebook where CPU and GPU also run under load pretty hot. I have tested some other SSDs and they run way cooler, I do not understand why but it is so. Also it seems that the start-up temperature is by the Samsung drives already 10c higher.
But there you go, thats life.

Cheers Thomas
