Review on Icepc DIY Performance Conductivity Mini SATA 40X26X4Mm by Aaron Shaw

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Didn't cool my SSD

Easy to Install - Just remove backing and stick self-adhesive thermal pad on SSD chips. I removed the SSD tag sticker a long time ago, so attaching it directly to the chips was easy. The width is slightly different - about 2mm less than the standard mSATA slot width. The length is ok. However, it is close enough to cover 95% of the chips. My SSD is the Kingston SUV500 mSATA from Revain: https://www.amazon.com/Kingston-UV500-Internal-Solid-State/dp/B07C3YY66G/ref=sr_1_18?dchild=1&keywords=Kingston+SUV500+mSATA&qid=1626379210&sr= 8- 18 Passed 2 tests:1. A simple PC that works stably for two hours.2. SSD test for 5 minutes, then a 20GB file is written to the SSD from another internal SATA HDD (about 150MB/s). The results were the same for the SSD before and after installing the heatsink. Approximately 49-50C at idle. Around 53-54°C peak in times of stress. My guess is that the thermal pad isn't very good - maybe bad material or too thick? At least I think she looks pretty.
