Hello r/buildapc been having some problems with my PC for months now and I was wondering if any of you had some advice. So, long story short my SSD has been overheating when I'm gaming on it. Nothing horrible, but it tends to get into the high 40's and low 50's whenever its under strain. It's not to much of a problem but some of my games start to stutter whenever its been running for an hour or two. (could it be a CPU overheat?) My setup inside the case looks identical to this with the exception of me having a 80mm fan blowing up to the right of the power supply, and my HDD being 2 slots lower. I appreciate any help you guys can give!
