M15R7 - Nvme temperature sensors locked at 60 degrees

[luiz-fernandoalves]

Describe the bug SSD sensors are always showing 60 degrees.

To Reproduce

Open alienfx-monitor or alienfx-control and check values, they're different from samsung magician values for example.

Expected behavior SSD sensors must show the nvme drive temperatures.

System (please complete the following information):

Model: Intel Core i7 M15R7 OS: win 11 - Build 22621.755 - Experience Pack 1000.22636.1000.0 Core Isolation - Memory Integrity: Enabled AWCC: Not installed SSD Models: 2x Samsung 980 Pro 2TB

Most probably it's not a bug - some SSDs have a fake temperature sensor, it's always return constant value into SMART (where i get it for GUI).

So check your SSDs SMART readings first.

Also, you should have MB SSD sensor as well - it's one of ESIF. Can't say exactly until take a look into BIOS dump (Dell name it, but Intel don't expose names).

I see. But it locked into WMI to fake value. What NVMe driver you are using? Windows default? Samsung?

[luiz-fernandoalves]

I've used Intel RST RAID drivers at windows install. Then, windows defaults.

[T-Troll]

So, you have it at RAID0?

[luiz-fernandoalves]

Nop. I've used this default option, but there's no RAID 0 setup:

[luiz-fernandoalves]

Hey dude..... I've changed the BIOS option to NVME and now the sensors are working fine. I've installed windows again from scratch, no Intel RST drivers, default drivers only.

[T-Troll]

Aha, so RAID drivers report fake. In case you're interested, i take this values from WMI (entry ROOT\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Storage\\Providers_v2\\MSFT_PhysicalDiskToStorageReliabilityCounter), which is, seems like, filled not by system, but by storage driver.

Anyway, thanks for this bug. i'll add it into readme!
