M.2 Heatsink for PS5 PCI-E NVME 2280 SSD Graphene Coating Copper Heat Sink,High Performance SSD Radiator with Thermal Pad for Laptop PC 2280 NGFF Solid State Disk Cooler(70x20x2mm)

Works just as expected. My board has the second nvme slot under my GPU, so it gets very little airflow and always runs hot - put this in and dropped temps on average ~12c for it.Great performance for the price, super easy to install.The bands to hold it are perfect, just large enough to not struggle getting them over the drive, but tight enough to hold it very snug.I did not use the pad included for it, I put small dabs of Arctic Silver 5 on the chips instead, as I prefer that over pads.

The 2mm version fits my 2022 Asus ROG G14 pretty well with a Samsung 970 EVO Pro. I used thermal paste instead of the included pads. The heatsink will fit the G14 with the included pads on, but there is a slight bulge. More importantly using HardWare monitoring software, there was a 20% drop in maximum temperature while using SSD benchmarking software.

One of very few heatsinks that will fit in my (rather poorly designed) laptop. Keeps my NVME drives about 7 - 10 degrees cooler than without but given the size it's not disappointing.For those that are very space limited - it's far better than nothing. If a person had more space, I'd go with a more substantial cooler as this cooler is SMALL and has LOW MASS - laws of thermodynamics still apply.And, "graphene coating" - don't get excited - it's on the OUTSIDE, not on the actual part that touches the thermal pad (that's copper). Besides - can't see where graphene touching a thermal pad would be all that great - and, if you were to not use a thermal pad and go straight graphene to NVME - WELL, graphene is VERY conductive - SPARKS are not your friend.tl:dr - It's small, fits in my laptop but if I had more room I'd opt for something more substantial.

This was worth getting. Easy to install on my SSD and looks good!

*icepc 70*20*2mm NVMe SSD heatsink*This heatsink might not look like much, but it's effective!I installed a Samsung 970 Evo in the M.2 slot at the rear of my motherboard, where there is absolutely no airflow. The motherboard cutout on the case also covered half of the slot, so I needed a thin heatsink to fit between the mobo and case panel.Enter this beauty. A couple of elastic bands later, I've reduced load temps from throttling at over 80°C to 70°C, and idle temps from 60°C to about 50°C.You could see better results if your M.2 drive gets even a little bit of airflow. I highly recommend this heatsink.Installation was easy and straightforward. Be careful, touching the flat surface of the heatsink or the thermal pad can leave residue and affect conductivity.After several months the black bands had worn out with the heat and stress, and snapped when I moved them. The heatsink is held in place by the case now. I haven't looked into replacement rubber bands, but I'd avoid household elastic bands. A hardware store might have rubber o-rings or bands that could do the trick.

Before install my 2tb WD Black SN770 was hitting 109c when transfering 200+gb file from a USB drive to the WD drive. It is in my laptop in a Gen 3 slot.Install of the heatsink went without issues, I used all 5 bands as I wanted the extra security and not have the heatsink fall off and bash around inside my laptop destroying everything. Temps dropped to mid 60s now under the same procedure as before. I use HWiNFO64 to watch the temps, it shows 3 differnat temps for the drive unlike the single temps from other programs. It is "Drive Temp 2" that is the high result, only "Drive Temp 1" Shows on other programs.At 2mm thick the heatsink is pretty heavy for it's size. It is not flimsy at all. The mating surface is machined smooth and not coated with the Graphine like all the other surfaces. Really a nice quality product and worth every penny!

Blue pad is floppy semi sticky and easily peels off. Took a few tries eyeballing alignment. There wasn't any instruction.Used the 3x rubber bands to hold more securely. Not sure what clear bands are for. There was only 2x of them. Maybe alternative coloring?

Cute idea, all that thermal conductivity...doesn't really mean anything when the heatsink is to be held on by a rubber band. Was easily outclassed by a worse heatsink with a more solid mounting mechanism. Can't imagine how the performance fairs over time as thermal cycles have their way with that dinky little rubber band.

What's in the package is the heatsink itself, three rubber bands and a thermal pad. I purchased this for my Auros 15P, but even the 2mm version is still too thick and cannot fit into the case, even after I change the thermal pad to a thinner one. So I have no idea how well it works, but write to warn anyone who wants to give a try to carefully measure your available space before purchase.
