Description of IO CREST Dual Adapter Heatsink

Converts one M.2 (m Key) interface to PCIe 3.0 x4 interface (PCIe 2.0 compatible). converts one M.2 (b key or B+M key) interface to SATA 6Gbps interface (SATA connection required). no drivers required. Large size passive cooler for the top of the SSD, it prevents throttling and bottlenecks from high Speed M.2 SSDs as it helps to dissipate heat before it becomes an issue. Equipped with 12V RGB LED lights, you can control and change the colors by connecting to motherboard or by built-in color mode. High density LED. M.2 PCIe/NVMe (M Key) SSD & M.2 SATA (B+M key) SSD 2230, 2242, 2260, 2280 and 22110 m.2 form factor lengths 12V RGB LED pin headers. Supports any OS like Windows, Mac and Linux. Booting possible from M.2 NVMe SSD with compatible motherboards with supported BIOS (support booting from PCIe). Intel 9 Series and above Chipset motherboards support booting from PCIe. This adapter card is a passive device so OS and system compatibility solely depends on SSD model used.

Efficient Cooling Solution for PC Build

Thanks to my knowledge gained in practice, I know how important it is to keep your computer components cool. This dual adapter heatsink from IO CREST did not disappoint. It effectively dissipates heat from my internal components, preventing overheating and system crashes. The compact size also allows for easy installation, even in tight spaces. The only downside is that it may not be compatible with all types of motherboards, so be sure to check compatibility before purchasing. Overall, a great

Pros
  • Can effectively dissipate heat from two M.2 NVMe SSDs simultaneously, improving overall performance and prolonging lifespan.
Cons
  • Cannot be used with single-sided M.2 SSDs, limiting compatibility with certain systems and resulting in wasted space if only one slot is occupied.

RGB Control with Aura

Looks nice, the heatsink is solid, but the LEDs heat up noticeably! Probably better with the LEDs off, depending on your build.

Pros
  • Equipped with 12V RGB LED, you can control and change colors by connecting to the motherboard or using the onboard color mode. High density LED.
Cons
  • There are cons

A reliable product for the RGB obsessed.

Generally satisfied. I had an RGB NVME drive that was designed to use thermal pads at the top and bottom for cooling, so I modified the cover to allow the RGB NVME drive to pass through. Would have liked a slightly longer RGB cable, but at a slightly criticized price.

Pros
  • Supports all operating systems such as Windows, Mac and Linux. Can boot from M.2 NVMe SSD with compatible motherboards with supported BIOS (PCIe boot support). Motherboards with the Intel chipset 9 series and higher support PCIe booting. This adapter card is a passive device, so OS and system compatibility depends solely on the SSD model used.
Cons
  • There are doubts
