Review on Optimized Cooling Performance for NVMe M.2 SSDs with Powerful 20mm Fan Heat-Sinks by Marc Hawkins

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Is working! Until then.

I had issues with a Samsung NVMe that couldn't stay cool in a small form factor HTPC case. Everything else (GPU, CPU, RAM) worked fine, but the NVMe temperature reached 80°C under load. Decided to try this product. Build quality seems a bit poor and installation was a little quirky (the logo printed on my device was printed in the opposite direction, which the assembly instructions showed, which confused the alignment a bit; also, the SATA power connector was incredibly tight./difficult to insert), but one cannot disagree with the results. I'll update my review if something doesn't work. The images here show my PC configuration before installing the device (flame showing NVMe with standard motherboard heatsink; pre-install stress test data and post-install stress test data. In both graphs, the blue line represents the NVMe drive temperature. A drop 17C under load is more than I was hoping for.

Pros
  • Value for money
Cons
  • Neutral
