Review on ๐Ÿ”ฅ M.2 2280 Heatsink - NVMe SSD Heat Sink - Aluminum Solid State Disk Cooler with Thermal Pad and RGB for Enhanced Desktop PC Thermal Performance by Walter Martin

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Excellent overall but may need an overhaul

Love the overall design. I wasn't expecting RGB to follow the same pattern as my EZDIY-FAB LED RGB GPU holder, but with MSI's Mystic Sync it not only follows the same flow pattern as the motherboard, but also in the opposite direction of the holders- GPU (this makes it even cooler, as you'll see in my attached video - I'm using the 'Power' template setting. Keeps the M2 SSD nice and cool even when it's practically swallowed up by my CPU's dual-fan heatsink. The Only issues I had were: 1. The metal base of the heatsink was about 1/8-1/4" too long where it connects to the M2 connector so I had to cut it off with metal scissors to trim it (Dremel might work even better as it doesn't warp the metal frame.) No big deal but unless you have the right tools you won't be able to fit it into the M2 slot.I have an MSI B450 Gaming PRO Carbon WLAN board.After i cut the piece, it fit snugly between the ms connector and the screw on the board.2. The LED fan/top wouldn't stay in the grooves (and kept falling on my GPU), so I had to add thermal grease and double-sided tape (included) between the SSD and the fan shroud. two problems, the price could not be better for the overall performance. The M2 SSD (TEAMGROUP T-Force Cardea Zero Z340 1TB) boots very fast and stays cool (much faster and cooler than my SATA SSD or worse, my original OS SATA HDD).

Pros
  • Internal components
Cons
  • Very expensive
