Heat Kills - Heatsinks

I built a system using the best components I could afford to provide information from an application that would continuously write enough data to a Samsung 980 Pro 2TB NVMe drive. I couldn't understand why the setup ran like an absolute beast for hours and then suddenly felt like it was sending every bit of data in and out through a pile of dirt. When it confused me, the performance was actually worse than the previous server that was built from the spare parts this feed was meant to replace! otherwise unintentionally maintained temperatures will disappear. I've never had an SSD overheating issue, so I had no idea temperature-based performance throttling even existed. This is a very real thing. Around the time I figured out what was going on I got the chance to try this heatsink, admittedly I thought this silly looking trick couldn't possibly solve the problem with my fancy hardware. . It turns out I just don't know much about something because it solved my problem. The motherboard fit was a little tight, but I was eventually able to push it in. The extra long cable came in handy as it allowed me to use a separate PWM controller instead of being tied to the next header on the board. Of course, air coolers vary in their cooling ability based on the ambient temperature, so I had to move a few things to fully cure the throttle body. In the end, however, this funny looking heatsink, priced under $50, saved the most expensive system I've personally built. Now the 24/7 beast mode. Gas off!
