Review on Electop Adapter Express Expansion Compatible by John Destruction

PCI 3.0 Express Expansion Card

I just wanted an expansion card to add another NVMe to my PC. The radiator was some kind of cherry, but I didn't realize it was a cased pine. I was initially very happy with the addition of a small screwdriver, but I quickly realized why it was included. To access the NVMe slot, you must remove the heatsink. and it took half an hour to loosen the screws. I destroyed the screwdriver that came with it and another one I had in stock. I don't know who screwed those damn things, but the two screws were so tight (and so tiny) that it made the process more difficult than it needed to be. Finally, after struggling (and cursing) with the screws, I decided I didn't want to mess with the heatsink anymore. It also didn't turn out to be very useful as there would be no contact between the heatsink material and the plate - just empty space for heat to collect?! I decided to put an expansion card in my PC with just my NVMe drive. This part works perfectly. My PC had no trouble identifying or using the hard drive, which made me very happy. Temperatures appear to be normal, especially since the card is in the airflow path.

Pros
  • Fast Heat Dissipation
Cons
  • Contact Seller
