What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
The primary ssd is actually under the pch/chipset fan and despite getting blasted with air, still runs hot at around 58c idle and peaks up to 84c when heavily accessed or written to. With this heatsink at idle it rests at 31c. Ssd stays under 35-40c u... Read More
Bought this to go with a seagate firecuda 530 in my ps5. It's still on a mini-itx but this one runs a pcie4 wdsn850 on a x570i motherboard. Fits perfectly in my qnap ts873 nas.

Installation is easy but requires some patience. Very easy to assemble and install. Perfect fitment and aligned fine with my motherboard screw points.

Highlights
Quality
Overall easy to install good quality product
Paired up with the xpg 1tb gammix s70 blade for the ps5perfect fit
This unit was designed to be used with the ps5 and so its heatsink doesnt come attached
Ive had ssd heatsinks with the silicone bands for fastening and a lot of those rubber bands fatigue and break only within a few months
Packaging/appearance
The packaging was nice and it even came with a screwdriveralcohol wipe
Worked as intended and is one of the more compact ones that’s fits easily into the ps5
The heatsink arrived inside a small clamshell packaging with alcohol wipes a simple instruction sheet 5 screws 4 needed 1 extra... Read More
Plus it looks great although wont be visible at all inside the ps5
Competitiveness
It fits comfortably in a ps5 as well
Looks good simple to install and works at cooling your nvme m
I think your usage may vary based on nvme location and air flow and type of nvme
The black must be good but you know what do aesthetics matter when its buried into your ps5
