NVMe M.2 SSD cooling

Thanks doorules, pparks1 and Cliff *Biggrin






Have still got one of these:





But no ideal place to position it to blow directly over the NVMe drive.

Windows 10 installer don't detect NVMe drive

I have 2 drives:

• disk1 (SATA SSD, with Ubuntu 16.04)
  • partition1 (sda1: flag /boot)
  • partition2 (sda2: flag /home, encrypted by LUKS)
• disk2 (NVMe SSD)

So, the goal is to install Windows 10 on disk2 and boot it from GRUB (which is on sda1).

What is the problem ?

In disk-choose step, disk2 is missing. However Ubuntu 14.04 installer "see" this disk, so I assume that is software issue, rather than my hardware.

What I tried to solve this problem ?

• loaded Samsung NVMe drivers from this thread
• patched Windows image using DISM tool by adding 2 updates. I followed this guide
• tried to run Windows 10 installed on USB stick to install it

All of them failed.

Please help me to solve this issue.

Some unscientific tests here:

My super quiet fan profile:




Turned my intake fans to 100% (still not to noisy if I am gaming lol)




Now for some semi extreme impractical down right daft cooling:






No performance gains from cooling my Samsung 950 Pro but the last does show some really nice low temps.
