ineo M.2 2280 SSD Rocket Heatsink Built-in Cooling Fan [M3]

Completely eleminates thermal throttling and drops max temps to 40-45°C during max speed writes of the entire drive at 3GBps and I got the same results when encrypting the drives. They're 2TB Sabrent TLC drives and they ran at the previously stated temperature max during the encryption and other long lasting high speed transfers with the base temperature inside the case being in between 32 and 33°C. For anyone who is interested, Ineo's other model works almost as well. If you don't encrypt drives or do lots of large file transfers or 5-10°C on a Sabrent TLC 2TB doesn't bother you, their other model does also work quite well and you can close the performance gap by applying some Noctua thermal paste to the chamber where the heat pipe rotates when the halves are unscrewed, completely at your own risk, of course. The actual heatsink on that on is slightly bigger, but it has the advantage of being movable into a position where it doesn't interfere. This one performs a bit better due to the solid aluminum that has fan driven air flow over the fins on it and because it's two heat pipes being spread out, draws in more heat faster than the one larger heat pipe of the othet Ineo model m.2 drive heatsink. Neither of them take up as much space as they look like they do in the pictures, but they are large enough to effectively dissipate the heat they deal with. I would recommend getting better thermal pads as the ones they ship with are fine, but if you're going this far with your cooling, you are definitely going to want to get higher performance thermal pads. Make sure you know whether you have a one or a two sided drive, both will fit in both models, but you will need to know what kinds and amounts of thermal pads you will need if you are getting better ones. Also note that the bottom may require part of a thermal pad to level it if it is two sided of has a different chip on the bottom, which shouldn't happen but I've still seen it (my guess is that manufacturers and designers have to get creative to work around shortages). None of this is a problem for people who are going to use the included thermal pads as they provide plenty and the... bottom tray is actually adjustable, so make sure you are applying pressure when tightening the screws. Also, especially if you adjust the angle of the other model, make sure that you remember that heatsinks are more exposed bare metal inside your computer, so disconnect the power, discharge the capacitors however your motherboard and power supply manufacturers tell you to, usually by physically unplugging the power cord and then switching the switch on the power supply to on and hitting the start up button, waiting 5-10 seconds and then start up button, and repeat until several times after you see nothing try to activate. I also had to have the contact side of the drive sticking out a couple of millimeters so that the assembly would screw in properly. I am genuinely confused by this as it seems to indicate that the drive somehow became shorter. If Ineo could solve that little physics mystery, I'd think they'd not only get a Nobel Prize, but we would all be able to buy physically and , thus, storage sized devices that were much larger but fit into smaller areas and having a 2.5in SSD or even a full 3.5in HDD sized nvme drive arrive in the mail and then being able to put it into an m.2 slot would help with alot of problems with ssd's in general, but it would also just be really fun

Great M2 Heatsink cooler! Easy installation, base plate can be placed the way to create the anticipated air flow direction. Accurate fitting!The fan is noisy out of the box, the speed can be tweaked within BIOS and does the trick to reduce the noise to none.

Excelente producto supero mis espectativas muy recomendable , le bajó 20 grados al disco SSD nvme super recomendado

it took me 2 nights to look for this heat sink as it reminds me of my father's single cylinder motor engine. The design looks good the copper tube and fins with fan looks good in my set up. my Samsung 970EVO temperature drop to 9 10 degrees Celsius . easy to install and the package include screw and mount. No need rgb led lighting for this..

Most proper PC builds would do just fine with any old heatsink, the SSD would be fine. However, I'm currently rocking a pre-built system from Dell, having a motherboard that features asinine placements for the SSD and RAM, in a case that has a whopping ONE fan slot for airflow. Looking for just about anything to increase it's circulation, this looked right up the alley for decreasing the temps.With a normal heatsink, it was still in the danger zone of temperatures, but as soon as I slapped this thing in, it went down by 20 degrees, and now at peaks it's still below the danger threshold on CrystalDiskInfo. Looks cool, Fan noise is silent/low enough to ignore, and performs like a champ, would definitely recommend!
