Heatsink for SSD Thermalright TR-M.2 2280, black/ARGB Review

Do not remove the stickers from the disc! They have fairly good thermal conductivity and the difference in temperature is minimal, at least for the Samsung.

I put on Sams 980 Pro. The height of the controller and memory chips is different (about 0.5mm), so I cut the heatsink in half and fixed the halves at different heights. I did not remove the sticker from the SSD, I used the thermal pad from the kit. The heat capacity is enough for 10s of streaming writing / reading, then the speed drops from 5/7 to ~ 2 GB / s, the temperature rises to 65-70 °, then stabilizes. Absorbs short thermal burst well. Ineffective for long periods of time. Suitable for…

In general, worthy for my money, I took a gray radiator, mastered it without instructions. Good branded thermal pads are already pasted on the radiator. The package bundle is rather poor, instead of printed instructions there is a QR code on the package. I didn't remove the stickers from the SSD. Samsung 970 EVO 500GB, temperatures have dropped, the heatsink is not very bulky, everything fits without problems.

Pros: Good cooling for nvme, easily installed on Samsung 970 evo plus. Quietly reduces temperatures by 20-30 degrees. Cons: It does not fit all motherboards, I ordered it satisfied, it will glow, but there is nowhere to connect to the mother, because. there is simply no such way out in the mother.

It performs its function at 5. Testing was carried out close to combat. The first screen without a radiator and one launch, the second one with a radiator and 5 launches in a row. So that there is an understanding why the difference is not as big as that of many who write a difference of almost 20 degrees or more. Temperature CPU=55, GPU=66. All tests were done after 30 minutes and under CPU and GPU load to see the real difference in gaming. As a result, I can say that the average difference in
