EKWater Blocks EK-M.2 NVMe Heatsink Hard drive Heatsink

The heatsink nicely fit with Samsung EVO 250GB (). I have pealed the paper stickers and left the copper plate at the back of the drive. Just make sure, you the stand of of the socket fits in the cut off of the heat sink back plate.The drive on its own, Even plugged in without any partition at idle, the controller runs at 50C (nvme-cli in linux) and it is indeed hot on touching. Running a benchmark in gnome-disk utility peaked the temp of the controller over 70C immediately. Attaching a heat sink did helped (stripped stickers from the drive), it is in middle 30s on idle and the heat up under load is at least slowed down. It took some minutes to warm up to about 60C. There was no direct air flow on the heatsink while testing and the case was opened for finger-touch-temp tests :-) I think, in normal operation, you probably don't stress the drive for that long period to warm up, so the heat sinks helps.And it looks cool on a black motherboard :-)

My Samsung 970 Pro M2 was idle at 60C and under load sometimes 70-75C. I bought this, easy installation but remember this because you will find it difficult to close the clips. On a 970 Pro use the 0.5 pad for the two large chips and 1.0 for the other end of the SSD, the two chips are higher than the rest, and use the 0.5 on the bottom and it will clip together easily and completely level.Now idle at 47C and under full load never exceeds 55C.Excellent product, and looks pretty good too!

Nowhere does it warn of this but it is for m.2 units with modules on ONE SIDE ONLY! Larger capacity storage 4TB+ will likely not be compatible. They look great, are fiddly to fit and DO (or at least should) come with thermal pads. They lose serious points though for being for single sided m.2s only.

Easy to fit onto 970 evo plus 250GB, dropped temps by around 10 Celsius.

Works as advertised and looks a lot better than having an ugly green pcb on my beautiful black motherboard. Fitting was easy with my Toshiba XG3 512Gb SSD as it's single sided, do not attempt to use this with double sided!

rubbish does not come with thermal pads now I have to order that

-10 degrees Celsius, stable at 50c full load

Tried to install onto the KC3000, clips are to short to use with this drive to hold the heatsink on, it's a shame varied size of clips or some other mechanism isn't used to counter this problem.Was hoping the adhesive on the thermal pads were strong enough to keep the heatsink on alone, but sadly not.Turned into a paperweight, I could try a smidgen of glue at each end of the thermal pad to hold the heatsink on and keep it off the pcb so can easily be peeled off is a solution I'm toying with.

I bought one of these to keep my 2tb 970 evo plus on a cooler side. I got both drives 1tb and 2tb with phoenix controller so I knew they would run cooler already, and ek passive cooler would just increase life of these drives. Install is pretty much straight forward. Remove factory stickers, clean it with rubbing alcohol, cut strip to size and install it. Clips are kinda tricky so take your time. Also, give it some time before you jump into benching as i noticed my 2tb drive would sit around 70c for a day or two. After, it sits at 44c at idle, 50c with some gaming. 55c with extreme gaming and extreme overclock. Pretty happy with it so far.

como indicaba ha sido muy sencillo de montar y encaja perfectamente dentro del hueco destinado a la memoria en la ps5.

Definitely gets the job done. Used HWMonitor and Crystal Mark to measure temperatures and to stress test, respectively. Without the heatsink it would idle around 43*C (109.4F) and under stress it would max at about 73*C (163.4F). After I put on the heatsink it idles around 31*C (87F) and under stress maxed at about 55*C(131F). It gets the job done well, but the installation instructions are complete garbage and don't help at all. The brackets to hold everything in place are little to be desired. I could only get one of the brackets to fit my plextor drive. Overall, it does what it's supposed to do, but installation is a bitch.
