960 EVO max working temp is 70°C. So it will throttle at around 68°C. Here is the datasheet: https://cdn.billiger.com/dynimg/woZ7GxbBE-IwyfP49PpBXHt4H9rycHjeBa9LTdXG2DARMp-9XDV4c8dvEYOdfFdbI7mfMAx0_M1e803PTPqeog/Samsung-960-Evo-M-2-500GB-MZ-V6E500BW-Technische-Details-dddb55.pdf

Hey, try diskpart and then "clean" command. After that the SSD can be initialized again. Moste helpful would also be a screenshot of Crystal Disk Info where we can see ALL raw values from the SSD:

Since they are mostly used by OEMs, there are no such SSD available for consumers. Beside that, I wouldn't go for such a special SSD, this is more like a trade-off, can't say how reliable such an SSD would be.

Hey, glad to hear your PC is running. If you wonder why you had no issues, booting from this SSD with an old fashioned system, here is your answer: The Samsung 950 Pro (and so far, only this drive) has a special legacy option ROM built in. This ROM is exclusive to this SSD, so do not try to...

I guess you are all testing your SSDs while it is used as the OS drive?! Install fresh windows on another drive, connect your evo and bench it while there is no operating system running on it. Watch the magic. Also, you need decent hardware (Intel's current SATA-Controllers are faster than...

Try using the original Microsoft AHCI driver. Intel RST may has some problems with Windows 10. Make a bench with that and post it here. You can also check out "Crystal Disk Info". Expand the window, so it shows full raw data. Post a screenshot of this, too. Crystal Disk Info...

Can you please provide a screenshot of crystal disk info: http://crystalmark.info/redirect.php?product=CrystalDiskInfo Expand the windows so it shows all raw data. Do you have the latest Magician? 4.6...

There are C7 - CRC Error counts. In 99% they are related to a lose or broken SATA cable. If the Cable is broken, the raw value will increase. You should change the cable and check the status again after a short time. Compare it. If the value stays at B5, it is fine. (It will not decrease or...

You should first check your SMART values. Use CrystalDiskInfo: (portable http://crystalmark.info/redirect.php?product=CrystalDiskInfo) Expand the window and post a screenshot!
