2-3 days is not uncommon in my experience.
I would also add, don't be "tricked" by the initial speed. In my experience the 2nd half of the blockchain will take longer then the 1st half. I would assume because larger blocks and more transactions to confirm in each block.
While you wait you could rig up an extra PC fan to point at the SSD.
What OS are you running on the machine?

yea, true I m aware of the increase in blocksize the further I m into the download/validation. For now I cool some aluminum piece and basically sandwich the SSD with it so the heat can at least be conducted by it but I might add a fan aswell, thanks for the idea.
I m running it on Win10 but I want to move it to linux later on (since i m not that familiar with it rn), this is kind of a test run.
