Review on ๐Ÿ”ฅ Heat Dissipating Silicone Thermal Cooler for Pack Heatsinks by Mark Kolipano

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Makes more sense in a laptop than in a PC

NVMe flash storage is rated for just over 40ยฐC. It actually breaks down faster if you're writing at lower temperatures, but still better than overheating. Small form factor laptops or PCs benefit from better heat dissipation. In a PC with good airflow and away from hot parts, the heatsink can cool the flash chips too much. It is better to put a heatsink only on the controller and RAM chips. If you plan to use this heatsink in this case, trim the shroud to cover only the controller and RAM and place the strips accordingly. In my case, the elevated M.2 slot sits between my CPU and GPU (both air-cooled). I think memory will be on the warmer side. My NVMe board also has chips on both sides. This two-piece kit pairs well with an NVMe board at a lower price point than some other single heatsinks.

Pros
  • 5ยฐC - 15ยฐC Cooling effect: The grooved design greatly increases the heat dissipation area. Cool your SSD to a safe temperature to prevent overheating and throttling, improving your computer's performance.
Cons
  • New competitors are here
