Hi guys,

I did PRAM + SMC reset many times.

I did a fresh install on mac os Big Sur on a new Sabrent nvme w/ adapter from Sintech.

I never checked my temps before but now the fans would spin up sooner on opened just a mail, safari browser with 3-5 tabs and whatsapp desktop. In activity monitor idle cpu is 95-85% most of the time.

What I noticed odd is that Platform controller hub die stays between 65-69 degrees, I don't know where is this sensor? Its on the motherboard but I couldn't find on google its position...

second print screen you can see nvme ssd temps around 30 degrees while using the laptop lightly.
