M.2 Heatsink for PS5 2280 SSD Pure Copper Heatsink Kit Cooler Heat Sink with Silicone Based Thermal Pad for Cooling M.2 NVME SSD (70x20x4mm)

I have multiple M.2 drives on my Asus ROG Zenith II Extreme Alpha, and unfortunately the third slot is on the back of the board and has atrocious cooling, with no room for standard size heatsinks. Attached a pic, this is fairly common placement for some reason even though accessing the back of the motherboard is incredibly inconvenient. On my Sabrent Rocket 4.0 my temps went (with no heatsink) from idling at 55C and peaking at 84C under Crystal Disk Mark to idling at 45C and peaking at 55C after installing the heatsink. Way better delta than I expected for before/after, approximately Idle delta - 10C Peak delta - 30C Just fantastic. I used the 2mm one and I think it just barely fit, based on the depths of the MB mosfets. My only complaint is there were no instructions whatsoever, however installing the heatsink is very intuitive so it isn't a big deal. You just peel the adhesive on back of the heatsink and attach to the drive, and if you want more security you can use these little rubber bands. Came with 3 black ones and 3 clear, I used the clears. I heartily recommend this heatsink especially the 2mm version for limited space like back of motherboard. Phenomenal passive cooling.

I just used the included bands to install the heatsink on my nvme drive. It dropped temps by ~12 degrees F so I'm happy. Probably could get even better thermal dissipation if I tried harder but its good enough this way.

System config: Dell G5 SE (5505) Laptop - Ryzen 5 4600H and Radeon RX5600m Crucial P5 500GB in Second M.2 Slot I added this ICEPC heatsink (2mm) to the Crucial P5 NVMe drive in my second slot. I removed the sticker on the drive and placed the thermal pad down. I added the heatsink on top. I added the 5 included bands (probably only needed one of the two sets provided, but why not?). Very easy install and good fit. One of main reasons I am writing this review is to let people know this fit my model laptop. I really had to do some guesswork and I wanted to let people know it worked for me. Temp on the P5 drive dropped 10 degrees (Celsius) under load. The drive puts out great numbers too. I added my CrystalMark and CrystalInfo screenshots. Could not be happier!! For other Dell G5 5500 series owners, there is another heatsink from Deal4GO on Amazon that really appears to be basically the OEM heatsink. It is more expensive and looks to have less metal/surface area than this one. However, the fit looks perfect with that one. I would still go with this product because it fit for me, but I thought I would mention it.

2mm thick ICEPC copper heatsink placed with a 1mm thermal pad over the CPU & RAM chips. Spreading out the heat to improve gameplay performance. So far so good, noticeable difference in gameplay when playing Vice City ports. Much faster loading and more frames etc. Would be nice if they made a .3 option as well instead of only 2 and 4. #r36sconsole #r36s #r36sheatsink

I just installed an icepc M.2 2280 NVMe SSD Pure Copper 2mm Heatsink in my laptop and it seems to have brought temperatures down by a little bit (and/or absorbing the heat so it takes longer to reach high levels). I have a 2020 Alienware m17 R3 and replaced the internal NVMe SSD with a Samsung EVO Plus 970 2TB. The laptop came with thin copper heat spreaders and I found my temperature rising to 81c with them. To install, I removed the label from the surface of the chips on the NVMe SSD (sticking it on the opposite side so I still have it), wiped the chips and heatsink surfaces down with a little rubbing alcohol, removed the clear plastic strips from the thermal pad, attached it to the NVMe SSD, "strapped" it down, and reinstalled the NVMe SSD. It just barely fits (it touches the plastic bottom but I don't see any bowing so I think it is just very snug). I'll have to be careful not to put too much pressure on that spot, hopefully it won't damage the NVMe SSD, connector, or motherboard. Running benchmarks I haven't seen it break 69c yet, and even then it takes a lot longer to reach that temperature than before, so it seems to be absorbing and/or dissipating heat better (not that there's really anywhere for it to dissipate it to, but this heatsink has significantly more volume and surface area than the copper heat spreader that came with the laptop). I'm concerned about the little bands that came with it, as I wonder if they will loosen up or break after being under stress and heat for a while, but because of the snug fit I'm also hoping that if they do break they won't be able to wiggle around inside the laptop. I'll probably double check it in a few months. All in all, pretty happy with it, seems to work! I'll try to remember to update my review in the coming months if I have any problems.

I used this for rear m.2 slot on an sff build to deal with thermal issues in a tiny, high-powered build. Works great.

I wasn't at a point where my WD Red drives were overheating, but nominal operating temperatures were in the high 30's and touched mid 50's under full load. Ambient room temperature is about 22/23C. I had very little space to work with as far as tolerances go, and thought this would be a good solution. The metal itself seems to be okay. It isn't protected by anything other than a Ziploc type baggie, so one of the two I bought had some scratches on the lapped side. Nothing that would have a meaningful impact with the included thermal pad, but still fairly disappointing. Speaking of which: these don't arrive in any sort of retail packaging, unlike similarly priced heatsinks from Orico and other brands. This is just a plain brown bubble envelope with the heatsink and thermal pad in a baggie, and a random assortment of rubber bands in another baggie. That the rubber bands aren't consistent was even more annoying to me. Between two heatsinks, one came with a single clear band (what the heck am I supposed to do with just one?) that snapped immediately, two thick black bands that were too loose, and one normal black band. The other package came with two clear bands that were too tight (even on a single-sided drive) three normal black bands, and one that was thick and too loose. Since I bought two, I had enough between the two packages, but you're truly at the luck of the draw here. As for performance, I'm not very impressed. Nominal temps actually went up about 2C, but under load, they do seem to peak at 47/48C, which is an improvement.

I have this bad boy strapped to a USB mounted NVME drive that I use for booting my Pi 4B. The addition of this and just a little bit of airflow brought my drive temps down from 50c to 35c on a gen3 NVME. Absolutely worth it.
