🔥 GLOTRENDS M.2 Heatsink Kits for PS5/PC, 3mm Thick Cooling Fin for 2280 M.2 PCIe SSD Review

Installed on a Samsung 970 EVO 1TB in a Dell Precision 3431. Format stress tested. The drive bounced off the throttle limit at just over 80C before the format was 20% complete. This heatsink might work better in applications where there is a lot of direct airflow across it, but I don't have one. What worked for me in the end was a 5mm thermal pad between the drive and the motherboard; during the same test, it held the temperature in the mid-range of 60°C.

I don't think your NVME drive needs a heatsink. I have PYN NVME, it's green and looks ugly against my rear motherboard. I bought this heatsink to cover the drive to make it look better. Performance-wise, I don't know if it's gotten better, but it hasn't deteriorated. Statically it looks 100 times better. I was a bit worried about the shorts on the back so I used some tape as the clips are metal but the thermal tape seemed to work fine on the front. Easy to use. But please know what you are…

Nobody expects a motherboard mounted component to be secured with rubber bands, but they do. The aluminum radiator itself is placed on the m.2, provided with heat-conducting tape and processed to a high standard. They come with metal clips that can be used in place of rubber straps, but they require excessive force to snap into place and there's always a chance of an m.2 shorting along the edge. Rubber bands are made of heat-resistant material. Silicone according to the manufacturer so I used…

I installed it on a single sided M2 SSD. I bought this specifically for the clamps as I don't believe in the long term viability of the rubber bands, but the clamps as they come put no pressure on the heatsink to make good thermal contact. I solved this by slightly bending each side of the clip with needle nose pliers, a thin pad on the back might work too. Other than that it works fine but there is a 1/2" version I would like. I figured since my case has a fan blowing onto the SSD I might be…

I ordered this for my WD Black NMVE drive which was idling at 58C and going over 70C under sustained load and throttle starts. Installation was easy, but make sure you don't place the thermal pad/heat sync too far back or you won't be able to screw the drive to the motherboard. After installation, I immediately noticed an improvement in temperature. The drive is now around 47 degrees Celsius when idling and only reaches 53 degrees under load in the CrystalDisk test. Pros: Cheap, easy to…

This immediately lowered the drive's operating temperature by about 8 degrees Fahrenheit, more or less (varies slightly, from a minimum of 76F to a maximum of 78F degrees). Before the heatsink was installed it ran at 84F to 86F. This significantly reduces the temperature of the M.2 SSD. risking shorting out one of the chip's free points. I used the silicone straps that came with it. While the silicone pieces seem to do the job, I would have preferred a more durable method of attaching the…

Optional but doesn't mean it's a waste of time. I used this with Samsung 970 Pro. Good thing - I like how it looks after installation. It perfectly matches the black finish of my motherboard. It comes with a very easy to use thermal tape. This affected the temperature of my SSD 970. Around 8-9 degrees Fahrenheit. Bad thing. The metal rings that are supposed to hold it to the drive are useless. They slide up and down. Luckily, the thick rubber bands that come with the kit hold everything…
