M.2 Heatsink SSD Cooler for PS5 PCIE NVME or SATA m2 2280 SSD Cooling（Black 2 Pieces）

I am using one of the two heatsinks for a 2 TB NVME drive in one of my PCs. It's a well made part, complete with the thermal pad and all screws. First time assembly was quick. Just be sure to leave enough of the connector edge exposed so it seats completely into the NVME socket. The only items missing I wish were included were the hold down tabs - fortunately I had a spare on hand. The other heatsink I plan to install with another NVME drive for my second PC. It does keep the module temperature down. Works well. Keep in mind the drive size (e.g., 2280) and available space on your motherboard. In my case I had to remove the graphics card to install this in a spare NVME slot.

I added some SSDs to my computer and I always add these too. Seems to keep the SSD cool and performing well. I have had a couple SSDs that slow to a crawl when transferring data to them like building an image or dropping large files. Once I added these, the performance was a lot better. PROS: It comes with everything you need. - Heat sink, nice pads, screws... I can recommend this product. - Assembles easy and give a place for the heat to go from the chips - Works with my Desktop PC motherboard and all the mini PCs I have. - Says it works with PS5, but I didn't test this. CONS: - Not really any quality instructions, so you have to figure out the placement on your own. it took a little testing trial and error to get a good position, but its not hard. Also know the layout of your device as I think maybe every device takes a little shifting to get a good fit. - May not fit well in all devices. they add a bit of bulk to the SSD and may cause the drive to not fit. so test and use a bit of trial and error.

As stated, I used this to replace the stock motherboard M.2 "heatsink"(or more aptly big slab of metal). I have an odd use case comprising an ATX pc housed in a 4u server case, that I use as a media server. The stock M.2 heatsink is just a decorative big slab of tin that does a decent job of moving heat away from the nvme. Recently I doubled the number of HDDs in the case and this cause a knock on effect of raising the temps of everything in the case, including the M.2 nvme. The case still has ample airflow, it's just hotter than it was before, and i noticed the nvme was getting a little toasty for my comfort level. Before getting one of the cheap M.2 heatsinks with a built in cheap A.F. fan I figured i'd give this one a try. Behold it works! Installation was quick and easy, just pay attention to the pad placement per the instructions(or don't, it's probably fine either way), then reinstall the drive. I've noticed a 10C drop since adding the heatsink, over the stock mobo slab. Make sure you have space, and if you need the extra cooling this is a fairly good/cheap way to bring down your drive temps a few degrees. This definitely won't fit underneath a gpu of other pcie device, but if you M.2 is above the gpu slot/below the CPU, this is better than the stock mobo heatsink. That being said almost all of you won't need this.

Overall, this product works great. It was very easy to install and came with clear instructions. However, I do have two minor issues with it nothing serious. First, the included screwdriver is quite small, so if you have larger hands, it can be a bit uncomfortable to use. That’s more of a personal preference than a flaw with the product itself. Second, the fit for the M.2 drive is slightly tight. It doesn’t seem like it would damage the drive in any way, but installation can feel a little snug. Overall, despite these small issues, I think this product is excellent and would definitely recommend it.

I just built a new PC workstation, and while I was putting it all together I used these heatsinks for two of my NVMe M.2 drives. And... I was VERY PLEASANTLY SUPRISED by how nice of a kit this is and how well thought-out it is and all that for so little money. Nice job folks! This kit includes a little screwdriver which also has a magnetized tip that makes it much easier to work with the tiny screws, and speaking of the screws it not only includes all the screws you'll need to put the thing together but it also includes two extra screws (one for each heatsink unit) that you can use to latch down the end of the M.2 card to your motherboard because yeah you probably don't have one of those M.2 screws handy do you? Well no worries! And this includes four thermal pads (one for top and one for bottom of each of the two drive kits) which are of different thickness, so read the manual to make sure you use the right thickness thermal pad on the correct side of your M.2 drive - it's easy to visually tell them apart as one size is visually thicker. It also includes a legible and simple manual which was great as other wise I wouldn't have known which thermal pad to apply to the front and which the back. Finally it includes wipes (wet and dry) to clean off your drive if you need it. Such a well thought-out little product. What a value! And it also looks great and WORKS great too - my drive temps have stayed nice and cool.

Excelente Heatsink, works perfectly on my QNAP TS-453E extreme heat disipación, lower the temp to a safe zone on an intensive work flow.

EDIT: Initial impression was that these wouldn't work well due to uneven metal and thick paint on the mating surface. After sanding and testing, There is almost no difference. Edit 2: I now use these for all my SSDs in all my builds unless I'm using and ARGB heatsink. I haven't found a better deal yet. I sanded and lapped 1 of them then compared temps and speeds of the sn770 (on a pci-e 3 board unfortunately) as uncooled, stock cooler and sanded/polished cooler. Important note: there are 2 thicknesses of thermal pads included. The thicker one goes on top where different sized components are. Make sure you squeeze your heatsink together pretty firmly while screwing it together. You can see my results in the 2nd picture. Not much difference at all between stock and polished heatsinks so don't bother with that. I had an 18⁰C drop in temps between uncooled and cooled under load. If you aren't getting good temp reduction, you've done something wrong. Original review: Pros: Cheap, fit well, easy to install Cons: -These are painted rather than anodized -They paint the mating surface -Paint is THICK -Sharp burs left near screw cutout -Mating surface is not flat -After sanding quite a lot with 320 and 1500 grit paper and lapping to a semi mirror shine there is still paint due to the uneven surface. It started as a capital I shape and required a lot of sanding with 320 to get to what you see in the pic. Further sanding with 1500 and lapping didn't change the remaining paint. You can see the reflection of the remote in the picture I attached. Temp results in pics

This heat sink kit does not work very well for the Samsung 980 Pro SSD. The reason for the poor heat reduction of the 980 Pro SSD is that the chips on the drive are different thickness or heights and the thermal pad and heat sink does not touch all of the chips. This can easily be corrected to make these heat sinks work excellently! First some test information: I have 2 980 Pro 1TB drives in my cool running, perfectly quiet Ryzen 7 Asus TUF 570 system. Using the Magician software,Standard Optimization Setting, and monitoring the drive temps with CPUID HWMonitor software. Stock 980 Pro SSD, No Heat sinks, Run a 6 times test, drives reached 150°F + Stock unmodified Heat sinks, Run a 6 times test, drives reached 135°F Stock Unmodified Heat sinks with system just being inactive 115° to 117° F Modified cut 2 piece Heat sinks, Run a 6 times test, drives reached 120°F max. Modified cut 2 piece Heat sinks, with system just being inactive 102°F With average use of my computer, I never see it go more than 107°F When the drives reached 150°F the report read/write test speeds dropped below 5000. Now with the drives running cool my tested read/write speeds are 7022 and 5169. On with the Modification of the Heat sinks: First Item. The taped screw holes in the aluminum heat sink are very tight. Use a screw with the supplied little screw driver to screw in one of the screws. When the screw becomes tight back the screw out half turn or so and screw it back in until it becomes snug again. Back it out and repeat the process until the screw will go all the way into the heat sink. Do this for all 4 screw holes. This makes final assembly with the screws go much easier! Now you can follow the description below with the pictures. EDIT: I uploaded the pictures in the proper sequence, but they are not being displayed in the proper order. 1.First picture is about screwing the screws into the heat sink to loosen the holes. 2.This picture shows the different height of the chips. 3.This pictures shows the gaps between the heat sink and the chips. 4. Cut the heat sink aluminum in half. Cut 2 pieces of thermal pad. 5.Cut the bottom piece with cutters on both sides. 6. Bend cut piece several times to snap off piece. Smooth with pliers if needed. 7.Put everything together with the thermal pads in place. 8.Enjoy a cool running 980 Pro SSD !

Not tested yet, but it's built quality looks great. Should be better than those heat sinks that are held together with rubber bands.
