Good performance but beware of possible problems with Aura Sync

I like RGB and the speeds are as advertised. I have an ASUS TUF x570 Wifi motherboard with Aura Sync which should be compatible, but with Aura Sync enabled on the XPG S40G my speed drops by half. When I turn it off, everything reverts to the stated speeds. I have the latest firmware for XPG S40G and Aura Sync. I'm not sure who to point the finger at or where to start with support, but I can confirm that this issue only occurs when Aura Sync is set to sync the light on my XPG S40G controls. This

Pros
  • Don't waste too much time
Cons
  • There are problems

Overheating issues and cloning issues (3/3 units have issues)

Update 3: So I ordered 2 units (1 for me and one for someone else) My unit (unit 1) failed the simple cloning and caused a short circuit which messed up my pc a bit and i was sent block 3 as a replacement, block 2 still works so i bought my block hoping to improve my computer a bit before the holidays although it was a bad experience. on 2 and mixed bad and normal on the last one. Block 1 burned out (due to motherboard/RAM issues after shorting itself out had to reapply the profile) and now…

Pros
  • Glitter
Cons
  • Expensive Insurance

This M.2 is getting hot!

So I bought it mainly because it was about the same price as most non-RBG discs due to the coupon. I wouldn't normally bother with RGB, but I shrugged and thought "why not?" It was a mistake. After a short boot time and switching on this drive, the idle temperature rises to 50 CΒ°. Now my other Adata M.2 (XPG GAMMIX S11 Pro) stays in standby at 38-40 CΒ°. Now notice that this is with RGB OFF! When I start doing light tasks, the temperature is 53-58 Β°C, and when I start playing games, for example,
