Review on πŸ”₯ The Ultimate Aluminum Heatsink Cooler with Silicone Thermal Technology by Joshua Castillo

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great value, but how long do these strips last?

I installed them on two of my CORSAIR FORCE MP510 Series 480GB NVMe PCIe Gen3 x4 M.2 SSDs up to 3480MB/s in the Cooler Master HAF XB EVO Test Bench Desktop Enclosure. At idle, my drives are in the 30-32C range. During the 1GB CrystalDiskMark x5 test, they run at around 42-44C. I find these heatsinks help keep temperatures down on my M.2 drives, but I am concerned about the durability of the rubber bands, especially in a hot environment. I'll let you know if you fail. I still give it 5 stars because of the price. One or two more sets of tapes would be inexpensive. 2-6 more strips should be included in the kit, although this adds 0.50 or 1 dollar to the cost. I'm sure my ranking will change if they fail, but so far we're doing fine.
