Review on Ineo C2600 Fan Aluminum M.2 NVME SSD Heatsinks with 20mm Fan and Pure Copper Strip by Jorge Kehayas

I bought this to replace the heatsink that came with my Asus Dark Hero MB to cool my Samsung 980 Pro M2 to see if I can get peak temps from a high 60c to under 60c. What can I say? I'm sure it's as good as the heatsink that came with my MB, but not much better. I think the thermal performance of my case is such that even the best heatsink only has a 1-2 degree difference, heats up a little slower and cools down a little faster. Here's what happened here in my test. The temperature was the same or 1-2 degrees lower, and the Samsung 980 warmed up longer and cooled a little faster when the graphics card load stopped (my graphics card stays at 40 degrees when not under load, but it warms up ) . up to 76-79°C under heavy load). More As you can see in the picture, my M2-1 sits near the back of my 3080Ti, which hits around 76-79°C under heavy load. All that heat has to go somewhere, and my M2-1 is so close to where all that heat is being generated and radiated off the card that there's really no way a heatsink could put anything in slot M2-1 without cold outside air could cool. blows over him. Since my case is a Lian Li OD11M, my cold outside air comes from the bottom (which is good for my bottom M2-2, which stays at a low 50s Cmax with a stock Asus heatsink) and from the side instead of the front. As a result, cold air is not being fed to my M2-1 to cool it. Instead, the hot air behind the graphics card is pulled up and back over the M2-1 heatsink by my rear and top fans to push it out of the case, severely limiting cooling when my graphics card is under heavy load and busy generated by heat. The bottom line is how much this product helps you, and how much heat is generated next to your M2 heatsink, depends almost entirely on the airflow (or lack thereof) in your case.
