@AlexRiedl I haven't observed any unusual heat generation from my P3 1 TB SSD while gaming. It does get slightly warm but nothing that would raise concerns. The NVMe SSDs are designed to handle the heat generated during normal usage.

In my experience, Crucial P3 1 TB doesn't generate much heat at all during gaming sessions. I've monitored temperatures with a hardware monitoring software and didn't find anything alarming.

@cryptolaxy Thanks for sharing the link to the TechReviewer article. I'll definitely check it out for further insights into my query. Appreciate your help!

Just a reminder to maintain proper airflow around your computer components when you're gaming. This will ensure optimal cooling and prevent overheating of any part, including SSDs.

Agreed! A well-ventilated case or setup can go a long way in maintaining comfortable operating temperatures for all components. I've always used intake and exhaust fans strategically to keep everything cool during intense gaming sessions.

@Dizmatiz That's an excellent point. I'll make sure to double-check my computer's ventilation system and adjust it if necessary. Thanks for the advice!
