NVMe Heatsinks for M.2 2280mm SSD Double-Sided Cooling Design（Blue）

I got 2 as you can see from my pictures for 2x2tb ssd. Comes with a little screwdriver so that is nice, one of the ones i ordered came with a broken tip but the other one was fine so all good. I would believe most people have #1 Philip screwdrivers already if they plan to install this themself but nice didnt have to go to my garage to find mine. Came with 3 thermal pads so had an extra incase you mess one up i guess, i like that. Have had these in my computer a while i think it came with an extra screw or 2 for when clamping this over your m.2 so that is nice as well. I only wish they had a low profile one that would fit under my graphics card.

I'm not a fan of the blue BUT it's not my computer. They worked well

I have a motherboard that had 3 x M.2 NVME slots. I always wanted to use NVME, especially to use as my boot drive in my desktop computer. (I have a Razer Advance Laptop and it boots so much faster than my desktop). I was able to acquire 3 x 256GB NVME (2 x Toshiba and 1 x Samsung) that was pulled from laptops. So these are not top of the line NVME but were very inexpensive. I did a RAID 0 on the Toshiba (Game Install) and the Samsung was the boot drive.I used HWINFO 64 to monitor the Temp of the NVME. The Toshibas where hovering at 55-57 degrees at idle and the Samsung was about 45 degrees. Very big difference between the two brand of NVME. (I believe the Temp of the Toshiba are correct because HWINFO took readings of both NVME and temps were only 1-2 degrees different) I played my favorite game, Borderlands 3, for about an hour and checked HWINFO. The max temp Toshiba hit was 62 degrees and Samsung hit 47 degrees. Toshiba was not only hot at idle but got even hotter during game play. I Googled some NVME heat sinks and the top review heatsink where in the $30-$40 range. More than the NVME drives cost. So I did a search on Amazon and this Heatsink caught my eye because it had very good reviews and was under $10. I bought a couple to test on the Toshiba since they were the hot ones. After installing the heatsink, which was not that hard, 5 min tops to install one, I open HWINFO and I WAS AMAZED! The idle temp drop 10-12 degrees to 44-48 degrees. I played BL3 for an hour and checked and the max temp was 50 degrees.I would have stop there but I had to buy a third heatsink for the Samsung. I was expecting the temperature to drop 10-12 degrees also but it didn't. Samsung only drop about 3 degrees. I don't think it is a failure of the heatsink but the higher quality standard Samsung has over Toshiba. i.e. quality engineering and materials. However, the primary reason I bought the heatsink for the Samsung was the looks. Having the heatsink looks so much better than having a bare drive with a sticker on it. As I look at the motherboard through the glass case window, I might have put the heatsink on just for the looks, even if there was no problem with the heat.Last Notes: I left the manufactures sticker on the NVME when I put the cooling pad on. Also, I put a cooling pad on the bottom of the NVME even though there was no chips there. I am not sure if cooling would be better without the stickers but I happy with temps being under 48 degrees. Also, I wish I had a screen shot of HWINFO of the Toshibas before I put the cooler on. I didn't really expect it to drop temps that dramatically.

These are amazing.

I originally bought the "Advancing Gene NVMe M.2 2280 SSD Heatsinks Cooler" for my Samsung NVMe M.2 drive and wasn't very pleased with it. For the most part, the bigger the heatsink and fins the better it will work. The adhesive pads of both the Advancing Gene and this one are identical, but the difference in the size of the fins is huge. The fins on this one are 3 times bigger and it correspondingly works better. I was getting about 56-57c (resting) on the Advancing Gene one and I'm getting 51-52c on this one... clearly better. I'm using it on a Gigabyte Aorus Pro WiFi x570 board and the M.2 slot is very close to the video card and the CPU bracket. This heatsink fits PERFECTLY... it's like it was designed specifically for this motherboard. It adds about 1 millimeter to the width of the M.2 card, including the screws on the side, and the height is not an issue at all. I'm using it in the number 1 M.2 slot because the number 2 slot is actually slightly UNDER my RTX 2060 video card and I don't think this heatsink would fit... great design, Gigabyte ;-)It's nice to get a well designed product, very pleased with this purchase.

I knew demand for these was gonna skyrocket when PS5 beta for NVME expansion was announced so I jumped the gun and got one early and sure enough, a week later, all outa stockInstall is mostly simple but the screwdriver is horrible at holding the screws, use something better with real magnetic tip.Be sure to be very gentle with the thermal pads, they are fragile and bubble easily when you pull of protective covers. It's also real likely that they will fall apart after install so be sure to get it right the first time.The heatsink fits perfectly with the NVME cover in the PS5.Quality is pretty good but the aluminum dents pretty easy and scratchesBy far one of the best and budget heatsinks for the PS5 expansion. These are gonna be sold out for months to come

So, I didn't even imagine the difference that this little heat sink would make on my Samsung 970 EVO SSD would make! Before I installed it, I ran some stress tests and measured the temperature of the SSD drive with HWMonitor. The drive heated up to 71 C (159 F)! Ouch! So I placed this heat sink on it and started it up again and ran the tests again. Result? Want to know?Here goes.... new results came in and here they are, Max Temperature: 49 C (120 F)!I mean WOW! What a difference! To think that my little drive is 40 degrees Fahrenheit cooler just for adding a heat sink is simply amazing.I've ran the test several times and no matter how many times I make the drive work hard, the hottest it's gotten so far is that 49 Celsius (or 120 Fahrenheit).So I'm here to tell you, this thing works. Get it and don't let your drive over heat on you.And for whoever the maker is, good job on this quality heat sink! You guys rock!Jim
