Review on 💻 ASUS SSD Heat Sink Kit for MHQJRH M.2 2280 with Mounting Screws by Girish Underwood

. Unfortunately they are installed in a PCIe slot next to my graphics card. I noticed that the temperature of the SSD measured by the Samsung Magician app went up to 72 degrees C after I ran the Samsung Magician benchmark. My Samsung m2 960 PRO SSD, installed 2 slots away from the graphics card, stayed below 47 degrees Celsius after the test. So excessive heat from the graphics card (which was idle at the time) caused higher temperatures on the first SSD in the "hot" slot. I installed an M.2 fan cooler, connected it to an available one, pressed the power button and ran the SSD test again. The peak temperature fell from 72 to 47 degrees Celsius, a drop of 25 degrees Celsius. The M.2 cooler works as advertised. I only gave the product 4 stars because there were no instructions for installing the cooler in the package (it was otherwise complete). Revain's product description included easy-to-follow installation instructions. It was a little difficult to separate the paper from the double-sided heat transfer ribbon.
