SSD M.2 NVMe Heatsink with built-in screw, Aluminum m2 heatsink with thermal Silicone cooling Pads, NGFF SATA Heat Pipe Cooler fits PC, desktop computer, DIY computer builder, PS5 (SB-HTSK)

If your a PS5 owner and looking for a heatsink for your new ssd expansion then look no further. This Sabrent heatsink is a great choice! It fits the Playstation 5 expansion slot like a glove. It's super easy to install and comes with clear instructions. Once it's physically installed your good to go, no firmware updates or formatting needed. It works with any brand ssd that you choose to go with, so not just the Sabrent brand. So far the heatsink is doing its job perfectly. Before I got the Sabrent heatsink I was using a much cheaper type and whilst transferring a bunch of games im pretty sure it caused the ssd to overheat, initially it said 40mins left till complete the transfer, I checked back half hour later and it had changed to a crawling 99+ hours. Since getting this new heatsink installed iv tested the ssd with similar circumstances and it handled it all like a boss. Honestly, I was surprised how much of a difference it made. I am 100% recommending this product for anyone with a PS5 and planning a storage upgrade, it's worth the little bit of extra cash to keep your ssd and PS5 running smoothly.

Can't say for sure how effective this is at dissipating heat as I've not really done enough testing, but it seems to be decent, it would be more effective if you also use a fan. When I first got my nvme ssd, I ran a benchmark on it and it reached over 80c during the testing, I updated the drivers which dropped this temp to a peak of 68c. So before anything, be sure to check that your ssd's are running the latest firmware & have the latest drivers installed. After insalling this heatsink (should note that this is a system running with no fans): Idle temp with no applications straining the drive: 44c Peak temp during read benchmark: 55c (increase of 8c starting from 47c) Peak temp during write benchmark: 57c (increase of 5c starting from 52c after read test) For comparison, here are stats from my other nvme drive using my mobo's default heatsink (which is just a thick alumium plate, should also note this drive isn't running the OS so it's naturally a bit cooler than the above): Idle temp with no applications: 38c Peak temp during read benchmark: 51c (increase of 13c starting from 38c) Peak temp during write benchmark: 57c (increase of 9c starting from 48c after read test) So I would say this Sabrent heatsink is marginally better than the heatsink provided with my mobo, though I think any heatsink at all would provide somewhat similar results but I decided to buy this one because of the high build quality, they certainly haven't cheaped out on materials. Temps ranging from 50c - 60c are ideal as you don't want the flash chips getting too cold. Installation was very simple, 5 phillips screws are provided - 4 for attaching the heatsink to the tray, and 1 for securing to the mobo. A spare thermal tape is provided for if you have a single-sided drive, be sure to remove the plastic layer from both sides of tape to expose the adhesive. Aligning the drive with the tray is simple as you just need to ensure the notch for the mobo screw is flush with the similar notch on the drive.

Good quality bought for my ps5, performance. Temperature reduction, fits well ease of application and value for money

Excellent quality, fast delivery.

Was having problems with my PS5 overheating on long sessions, bought one of these and it hasn't overheated again since. Very easy to install, just pop the side off and unscrew the expansion bay cover and screw this into its place. Well worth a try if you've been experiencing overheating with your PS5.

This arrived well packaged. I got a Samsung 980 Pro to go with it. Took me a while to get the PS5 open as I was very apprehensive, but once you have the knack it is straightforward. The heatsink fits on too very well. But as you push it down it does feel like it is putting more pressure on the SSD than feels “right”. It wasn’t like it felt like it would snap the SSD but it did make me a little nervous and I had my fingers crossed when powering up the PS5. Thankfully it worked and the ssd was ready to use shortly after. I understand that early versions of this came with the thermal layer separate and you had to place this between the ssd and sink yourself. Mine has the thermal later fixed to the sink. But it wasn’t the full length. My 980 Pro is one of the shorter SSDs. I’m not sure if there are any of the longer ones available yet for the PS5 but if you do get one, then be aware that the thermal layer on this sink will not cover the full surface of the SSD.

Perfect cooling attachment for PS5 NVMe SSD, M2 and helps with general cooling for long gaming and reduced overall heat in room from exhaust fumes.

This heatsink was very easy to install. My Netac SSD came with a heat-spreader which I installed when I put it in the PS5, but it was throttling when doing big transfers, so I thought a heat sink would be useful. I wanted one that would conduct heat out of the bay, as the standard metal cover looks like it would reflect radiant heat from a heatsink back into the bay. This heatsink was reviewed well and great value at the time I ordered. Installation was very straightforward - once the SSD is in place, remove the standard bay cover and put this one in its place, remembering to remove the plastic covering from the thermal pad as you do so. I did a big file transfer (400Gb) immediately after install and it held a higher speed for longer than before. The speed dropped a little then picked back up, which might have been the thermal pad melting to the right shape to conduct heat optimally. PS4 and PS5 games play super smoothly from the SSD and I would recommend this SSD highly as it is great value and improves on the Sony factory cooling design. NB I didn’t use the included screwdriver as it looked very low quality.

Stosunek ceny do wydajności jest nie adekwatny ! Prosty aluminiowy radiator daje takie same efekty jak Sabrent. Na minus jest jeszcze to, że wydaje mi się że dodatkowo akumuluje ciepło! Jest ciężki, masywny żebrowania są minimalne - jak się raz rozgrzeje to trzyma ciepło - jak termos ! Pozostało mi jeszcze wymienić termopady na lepsze, ale nie sądzę aby coś to dało.

Works as intended

Fiquei ao menos 1 mês sem o dissipador, nesse meio tempo notei a temperatura de 60 graus no meu SN700 em um dia bastante quente. Agora em dias quentes - como hoje - beira os 40 graus, algo bastante seguro se pensar que os NVme esquentam bastante por natureza.

I'm ordering another one right now. My workstation has had the 2TB 990 EVO Plus for a few months now. I have been using a huge cooler from Thermalright, and the hotspot idles around 55C. I just upgraded my gaming computer to the same SSD and put this Sabrent heatsink on it, and the hotspot is yet to go above 44C in any stress test. Installation was foolproof (of course you're not a fool) but the thing lines everything up for you. It has a separate tray for use depending on if you're using it on a single or double sides SSD, which is nice. I got the crazy colored one too. It looks cool; it's got that blown glass color scheme going. I like that it looks cool but doesn't need an extra cable for RGB or a fan or anything.
