Review on 🔥 Copper Copper Heatsink with Silicone Thermal Innovation by Sam Simone

Today I installed this heatsink on a Dell XPS 8900 that has a Crucial 1TB NMVe SSD on its motherboard. There isn't much space between the SSD and the graphics card, so heatsink options are limited. Result: Crucial drop in SSD temperature by 6 degrees Celsius (11 degrees Fahrenheit) in both the chip and the controller (use HWiINFO to see two temperatures for the SSD). The chip temperature rose from 51°C to 45°C. Controller temperature increased from 54 to 48C. The fans stopped turning on and off at high speeds. In addition to the instructions that came with the heatsink, I did three things: 1. Remove the Crucial tag/sticker from the entire length of the SSD from the chip/controller side. This label was not a heat transfer label. Easy to remove.2. Treat the CHIP SIDE of the copper plate with thermal paste and wipe off the paste with a coffee filter. This is necessary to fill the microgrooves on the CHIP SIDE of the copper plate (don't put paste on the top, only on the side that touches the chips/controller and wipe off all the paste with a coffee filter).3 . Create a conductive "sandwich" using the two supplied adhesive conductive strips included in the kit. I used a thicker strip on the bottom (motherboard) of the SSD and a thinner strip on the top of the chips/controller side. So here's the geography: motherboard, then thick strip, then SSD, then thin strip, then copper heatsink. Either way, he does his job well enough to silence those fans. So far very satisfied.
