SSD Overheating problem.

Hello, i've had issues with the system. I narrowed it down to an overheating ssd. But, there is nothing i can do. All the NVME slots are already taken. One is above the GPU which already has a cooler with a little fan on it. And the two other slots are right behind the GPU. I have found a very expensive extension cable on thte internet, and there is nothing i can do to cool the SSD down. The space is practically paper thin. The 7900 XTX is baking both ssd's. And even if i managed to move the ssd away with the extension cable, where would i even mount it, if it would even work. What do i do?

The disk is brand new, barely a few hours in. But it often overheats even while the system is on standby. This wasn't much of an issue with other brands, they seemed to ignore it. What i could possibly do is to swap it to the slot that has the cooler, and hopefor the best that the other disk handles temperature better.

What do you mean its overheating? What are the actual temps?

Can you define overheating? No offense, but so many people nowadays look at a high temperature and freak out for no reason.

What SSDs do you have? What, if any, cooling solution is in use? Is there a heatsink? And how do you know it's the SSDs that are the problem?
