I'm running Debian on mine - at the moment the machine sits idle because it's part of a project and isn't ready to be used.

Since it's Linux, I'm limited to what the lm-sensors package can detect which is essentially nothing (if anyone has a useful sensors.conf for the system it'd be welcome but the errors that show up in 'dmesg' suggest the BIOS may not be reporting capabilities accurately rather than the sensors not being recognized).  I see a temperature for the GPU, and a couple for the M.2 SSD and that is all.  I replaced the supplied SSD with a larger Samsung 980 - no thermal paste since it only made contact with the plastic fan plate and thus probably didn't do much good anyway.

The SSD is around 50C in an idle state.  There is obviously very little clearance with the standard fan plate in place, but has anybody got the M.2 SSD fitted with a more substantial heatsink (of, say, 12mm height) by either removing the plastic fan plate or cutting a suitable hole in the plastic fan plate for a taller heatsink?  The latter would be preferable, since I'd get to keep the benefits of the fan.  I've got good cooling with such a heatsink on an SBC, but wanted to ask if anybody knows the clearance with a hole or no plastic fan plate before I start sawing up the plastic fan plate.

Hello there,

It is normal that the SSD is around 50C in an idle state.
