Compatible PS5 Heatsink

I upgraded my PS5 storage using this Sabrent heatsink, and I’m thoroughly impressed. The aluminum build is solid, and installation—while fiddly at first—was manageable and precise once the SSD clamp was removed. The heatsink replaces the original cover and maintains the PS5’s designed airflow paths, ensuring active cooling rather than trapping heat under a passive plate. Thermal tests reported by reviewers confirm that this heatsink significantly lowers drive temperatures compared to generic models. Its fit accommodates both 2280 and extended 22110 SSD sizes, with uniform pressure that keeps performance stable. On the rare occasion a user experiences SSD bowing, a supplemental thermal pad beneath the board helps maintain balance. For roughly $20, you get one of the most effective and thoughtfully engineered SSD cooling solutions available for the PS5. If you’re planning a high-speed PCIe 4.0 upgrade on Sony’s console, this is the heatsink you should consider first.

Quick, easy install, working as it should.

One of the better heat sinks. I am really unfamiliar with internal components of PCs or any other technology like my PS5. But! This design seems to be the best heatsink simply because of the material it is made out of. It completely replaces the SSD cover it comes with, and then it covered all of the empty space inside of the compartment. The heat sink foam is good and simply used an adhesive to stay in place. I am convinced that the way this is designed, my SSD will be protected as the entire heatsink compartment is filled with no space for heat to hangout in there. It seems to fit well with all compatible SSDs. It was made specifically for the PS5. I have the PS5 digital with disk. Overall. Very easy to install and very much does the job at a great quality.

Easy to install. Using a western digital 2tb HD. I use the system for a few hours with no issues after this installed. I didn't take any detailed temperature measurements. Rather be safe than sorry. As long as the price is competitive under 14 bucks this is a good product.

Was a great fit for the PS5 and WD drive.

Helps keep the heat manageable in your PS5. Fits exactly like it should. Great value and quality material.

Nice in that it replaces the top cover and fits the slot perfectly to allow air flow, that works with the Sony air flow system. As someone else pointed out depending on the length of the SSD you have the thermal pad on the bottom of the heat stick might not be long enough and you would need a different thermal pad. What concerns me is that I did not see this step in the manual and nobody has mentioned it here… There is a clear plastic protector sheet on the underside of the thermal pad ( not the side thats attached to the heatsink . This is supposed to be peeled off so that the thermal material has direct contact with the SSD. If not, you are cutting down how much heat gets transferred. I tried to take a picture of the little plastic sheet after I removed it ,leaning against my controller here. Do it carefully as to not ding up the thermal pad.

perfect for the ps5!!

Après avoir consulté différents avis sur les dissipateurs potentiels, mon choix s'est porté sur le Sabrent M.2 NVMe PS5 heatsink. Il est ultra simple à installer et parfaitement adapté. Il s'installe à la place de la trappe d'origine à la perfection. Il est compatible avec les ssd interne M.2 NVMe au format 2280 qu'ils soient simple face ou double face et ne disposant pas de dissipateur thermique d'origine. Côté bruit, je ne dispose pas de point de comparaison avec un autre dissipateur thermique pour en parler avec objectivité. Le petit tournevis fourni est idéal pour fixer le ssd à la console, en revanche j'ai utilisé un autre tournevis (plus adapté à mon sens) pour visser le dissipateur à la place de la trappe d'origine. Il est installé depuis quelques jours et me donne entière satisfaction. La fonctionnalité particulière de ce dissipateur ne semble pas mensongère, je n'ai pas noté de hausse de chaleur à ce niveau depuis l'installation du ssd. Il est très efficace.

Gör sitt jobb kanon. Kyler min Samsung 980 Pro i min nya PS5 superbt. Rekommenderas varmt till alla som funderar på att uppgradera lagringsutrymmet i sin PS5:a. Kombon med denna kylare och Samsung 980 Pro är super och gör sitt jobb perfekt. Så ja rekommenderas starkt!!!

If your a PS5 owner and looking for a heatsink for your new ssd expansion then look no further. This Sabrent heatsink is a great choice! It fits the Playstation 5 expansion slot like a glove. It's super easy to install and comes with clear instructions. Once it's physically installed your good to go, no firmware updates or formatting needed. It works with any brand ssd that you choose to go with, so not just the Sabrent brand. So far the heatsink is doing its job perfectly. Before I got the Sabrent heatsink I was using a much cheaper type and whilst transferring a bunch of games im pretty sure it caused the ssd to overheat, initially it said 40mins left till complete the transfer, I checked back half hour later and it had changed to a crawling 99+ hours. Since getting this new heatsink installed iv tested the ssd with similar circumstances and it handled it all like a boss. Honestly, I was surprised how much of a difference it made. I am 100% recommending this product for anyone with a PS5 and planning a storage upgrade, it's worth the little bit of extra cash to keep your ssd and PS5 running smoothly.

A great heatsink, that feels very solidly made.
