Review on 🔥 ELUTENG M.2 2280 Heatsink: Double-Sided Aluminum Alloy Heat Sink for NGFF NVME Cooling with 4 Thermal Conductivity Silicone Pads - M.2 SSD Cooler Set for 2280 M.2 SSD by Scott Spoja

Knowing I would receive this product in a few days, I started logging my drives' temperatures at different times of the day using the CrystalDiskInfo program. The M.2 NVME SSD showed readings ranging from 33 to 52°C. The product arrived and it appeared to be a well designed product with precision. Assembly took 15 minutes. The outside temperature was about the same for several days before and after the product was delivered, giving a good basis for comparison. My computer was used in the same normal daily routine so a good comparison too. The temperature values after installing the radiator generally vary between 33 and 49 degrees Celsius. Well, it had some cooling effect, but the difference is only 3 degrees at peak temperature. This is not what I expected as I expected a difference of 5 to 10 degrees Celsius as stated by the manufacturer. Summer is already here, if I don't see anything above 52 degrees Celsius all summer I might revise my rating upwards. .EDIT (November 21, 2020): Summer is over. I've seen 53 or 54 C a few times just before adding a PC case fan. Since then, I've never seen an M.2 NVMe SSD approaching 50C. I have four M.2 NVMe SSDs, just use two sets of ELUTENG M.2 2280 heatsinks. To my surprise, two SSD M.2s that use a one-piece heatsink and silicone strap are consistently 4-7 degrees colder than two that use mounting screws. I'm assuming the ones with mounting screws have my heatsink materials and the double sided cooling should work better than the rubber banded (silicone) type, but it turned out to be the other way around. This is true even if I move the M.2 SSD to another location in the PC and put it back to its original location (I have a choice of putting the M.2 SSD in an M.2 slot or a PCIe x16 slot to plug in). I don't know if other users have similar results. Was it because the thermal pad was too thin, or was the contact poor on the ones with mounting screws? In any case it should be a good enough product, I am revising the rating to 4 stars.
