even tho everything is within range, 2019 Mac Pro. Do I need to be concerned?
native Mac 250 GB
installed; samsung 970 Evo Plus 500GB via Aquacomputer KryoM.2 PCIe 3.0 x4 Adapter for M.2 NGFF PCIe SSD, M-Key with Passive Heatsink (https://shop.aquacomputer.de/product_info.php?products_id=3400)
When that PCI-e device gets too hot, it will start to slow itself down to avoid over-heating. That is why it needs a heatsink (to stay fast).
The Apple device has the controller inside the T2 chip, and the arrays are split between two cards, stuck in a scoop in the main flow of air.
60 degrees C is ordinary. 100 degrees C is approaching shut down to avoid damage.
39 C is no cause for concern.

quite a difference between the heat of the native Mac SSD and PCIe installed SSD
