Arrived yesterday, card is fine and the drive is a tiny bit dinged up. After booting up, the drive overheated instantly which is a bit concerning. Not in a screaming rack but also not in a toaster PC so dunno what to make of it.

So that's interesting.
here's the data sheet:
9200 NVMe SSDs (micron.com)
most cromulently:
operating temp is 0C to 85C
" If SMART temperature exceeds 75°C (SMART composite), write performance will be throttled. "
So just 77C wouldn't seem too bad?
but on those smart warnings:
0 Critical warning Indicates critical warnings for the state of the controller. Each bit corresponds to a critical warning type; multiple bits may be set. If a bit is cleared to 0, the critical warning does not apply. Critical warnings may result in an asynchronous event notification to the host. • Bit 00: If set to 1, the available spare space has fallen below the threshold. • Bit 01: If set to 1, the temperature has exceeded a critical threshold. •
Bit 02: If set to 1, the device reliability has been degraded due to significant media-related errors or any internal error that degrades device reliability. • Bit 03: If set to 1, the media has been placed in read-only mode. • Bit 04: 0, the controller does not implement a volatile memory backup solution. • Bits 07:05 Reserved
2:1 Temperature Contains the maximum temperature of the overall device (controller and NVM included) in units of Kelvin. If it exceeds the temperature threshold, an asynchronous event may be issued to the host.
converting 15E to decimal is... 350? And that's equal to... 77C?
I may be reading it wrong, but I would yolo it with a temp of 77C (but also try to get more airflow on it).
