johnyyz Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 My C drive is nVME but my MSFS is on a separate SSD drive. Would it be ok to run MSFS on a nVME ??? I heard they have a tendency to overheat and are not good for gaming, IS THIS TRUE ? thanks Core i7 10700K OC to 4.6 all cores/EVGA 750W G+ PSU/ MSI Z490 edge mobo/GSkill RAM DDR4 32GB(2X16GB) 3600mhz/ ASUS TUF RTX 3080/ Win10 home/ Asus 32 inch monitor 1440p/ CH Flightstick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmeed Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Howdy. There are plenty of YouTube videos of reviewers/gaming system builders using nVME drives in their rigs. I don't think it's an issue unless you don't have proper cooling/ventilation in your case in which the drive could overheat. An SSD can overheat as well in that condition. You do realize the main difference between NVME and SSD is that NVME is connected to the PCI-Express bus directly instead of SATA? Otherwise, they are largely the same.

plainsman Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 I am running the sim on an MVMe M.2 and I have not had any issues. I don't run the level of hardware you have, and I do have a well vented case, but it has not been a problem for me?

g7rta Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Me too. I only use NVME drives now. One for Windows & the other for Flight Sim. I don't know if it’s is the norm, but both NVME drives have a plate/heat shield screwed down over them.
