Review on MHQJRH Double-Sided M.2 2280 SSD Heatsink with Thermal Silicone Pad, Compatible for PC, PS5, M.2 PCIE NVMe SSD or M.2 SATA SSD by Lillian Rodriguez

The silicone pads included in the kit do not make good contact with my my my 970 pro 1tb. I had a high fever but I wasn't sure if it was normal. Apparently the density of the included silicone thermal pads is too high to fit the uneven surface and I could see outlines where they actually touched that were almost non-existent. I replaced the pads with the ones left over from the graphics card mod. They are slightly spongy and come in two thicknesses. I cut out a few of these to give them the right shape and place a 2mm thick one on the side of the controller where all the heat is. I put 1mm thick pads on the side with vnand chips. So there wasn't enough room to fit the whole sandwich into the bread without squeezing it until the screw holes lined up, which squeezed the thicker and softer pads in the form of the m.2 drive components and made full contact with constant pressure. . As a result, my maximum temperature dropped by 15 degrees. Idle around 32s and max 46s so far when gaming with my graphics card next to it, it heats up as it's constantly reading itself. Much better. The next version of this cooler should be spring loaded with thicker, softer pads.
