10ยฐC+ temperature reduction

*NVMe Icepc SSD heatsink, 70*20*2mm* This heatsink might not look like much, but it works! I installed the Samsung 970 Evo in an M.2 slot on the back of my motherboard where there is absolutely no airflow. The motherboard cutout on the case also covered half of the slot, so I needed a thin heatsink to fit between the mobile device and the case plate. Enter this beauty. After a few rubber bands I lowered the load temperature from throttling from 80ยฐC to 70ยฐC and the idle temperature from 60ยฐC to around 50ยฐC. You may see better results if your M.2 drive receives even a small amount of airflow. I highly recommend this radiator. Installation was easy and straightforward. Be careful, touching the flat surface of a heatsink or thermal pad can leave marks and affect conductivity. After a few months, the black stripes wore out from heat and stress and cracked when I moved them. Now the radiator is held on the housing. I wasn't looking for replacement rubber bands, but I would avoid household rubber bands. The hardware store may have rubber o-rings or tape that may help.
