Icy Box Aluminum Alloy Heatsink with Fan - Achieve Optimal Heat Dissipation for M.2 SSD 2280 in DIY Desktop PCs (Black) Review

Received this heatsink in the mail today and installed it. It was a bit of a hassle just because my Master Cooler heatsink and fan for my GPU were in the way, so I had to reconfigure something. If you're using a large GPU fan for CPU cooling, just be aware that if your M.2 is close to your CPU, like mine on my Gigabyte board, it may not fit if you're using the GPU -Fans cannot maneuver. installed and my system booted, there was no noticeable fan noise that I could hear, even when working with…

This cool box reduces the average temperature from 37°C to 31°C. There are many different heatsinks listed on Revain, but not many of them actually do anything to cool your M.2 drive.

At full power it makes a slight plastic whistle but that's to be expected. I had no problem cooling a very hot running nvme m2 ssd and it performs better than expected with less heat. All in all a great win. The only annoying thing is that it's a bit ugly, but . Nothing, I just add silver components to the mix 🤪

Works, does what it's supposed to. It didn't include an extra screw, which was odd. another more expensive and cleaner NVME cooler but it also only cools 10-15$*$/$ if you don't care how it looks then this is your best option. Spending more for a better option will only give you marginal, if any, better performance. So only do this if you are interested in cosmetics.

This heatsink installs in the second M.2 slot on the Asus Z390 Intel board. It fits perfectly and dissipates heat well due to its durable construction. Note the size of the first M.2 slot as the CPU heatsink will most likely not allow it to be installed. I chose an adjustable one with an RGB strip and was able to mount the coil under the CPU heatsink. The fan looks like it could be easily upgraded to RGB, but it's pointing straight down, so it's probably not worth the hassle. Fan noise is…

Really neat product. The two screws at the top of the mini fan case look like they will hold the fan in place, but looks can be deceiving! They actually screw into two tiny pegs in the screw holes and don't really support the fan. Upon closer inspection I found that the copper heat pipes act like copper coils and the screws create an electromagnetic field between the poles and you can actually get the fan to run without connecting it to a power supply with a good magnet! I wonder which power…
