isn’t the whole case hot? Usually motherboard has sensors for monitoring the case temperature and control case fans. If the whole environment is above 45°C it makes everything hotter.
If you can check that an easy test would be to disable you CPU boost. I always do this anyway as boosting is a temporary way for a CPU to squeeze some extra performance at a huge energy/temperature cost. On my stress test this “only” get 10-15% more performance but without boost the CPU temperature never get above 50°C.
Because the CPU is not warming the case anyone everything is cooler, how much I don’t know though. Hopefully this could also reduce I/O on the SSD in general too but a cooler case is definitely better for every component.
The way to disable boosting depends on the CPU model as a starting point you can check wiki.archlinux.org/title/CPU_frequency_scaling#Co….
