I have used 3 of these. None of my drives ever throttle due to heat.

For those that didn't buy an NVME with a heatsink then is a pretty good alternative. My older motherboard had 2 M.2 slots for the front that shared a heatsink but this new AMD motherboard I bought only came with two one in the front and one in the rear.I did a CrystalMark test prior to this and my front M.2 topped out at 59C while the rear (no heatsink) topped out at 91C (even thermal throttled), after installing the Thermalright heatsink and did the benchmark again it topped out at 54C and never got hot during gaming.I've had a non-Thermalright kit before almost 9 years ago and it worked fine so I figured I'd try this again and overall I'm satisfied.Motherboard: ASUS STRIX B850-I (ITX)NVME: WD Black SN850X 2TB x2

This little heat sink is high quality, cools my SSD adequately and most importantly is compatible with the little plastic clips (called Q-Latch) that Asus uses on many of its motherboards. Most SSD heat sinks will interfere with the latch and will not allow it to close. This heatsink allows enough of the end of the SSD to stick out that it doesn’t interfere with the latch.In my particular case I could not use the giant heat sink that came on my motherboard because I am using an Arctic Liquid Freezer III AIO and the cooler would hit the SSD heatsink. My solution was to use an SSD with a smaller heatsink. Unfortunately most of them would not work with the dumb Q-Latch and there is no other option to secure your drive. This little heatsink saved me. It works fine on a Gen 4 drive but I don’t think it would cool enough for a gen 5.

I have used this heatsink multiple times and they work great. Very sturdy and easy to install. Thermalright makes good products. Great for the price.

Obviously you're going to buy this product because it's (less than) half the price of the gaming branded M.2 heatsinks. The design itself is no-frills - low profile, extruded aluminum heatsink and a stamped steel lower half to keep the two pieces sandwiched around your M.2 SSD. No fancy ARGB LEDs here or heatpipes. Installation was extremely straightforward with one strip of thermal padding on both halves that also doubles as a mild adhesive to keep the assembly from sliding up/down your SSD once screwed on tight. Thermal Results were excellent for me: installing into a SFF prebuilt Dell with truly abysmal airflow, the factory config means a standard PCIe 3.0 SSD was cooking itself at ~55-65 C when run 24/7. Installing this heatsink dropped that to 40-55 C which I'm very happy with. I sincerely doubt this can cool the hot-running PCIe 5.0 SSDs that are entering to market but let's be honest, you should be spending more than $6 on cooling if you're dropping that kind of money on an SSD anyway.

My PC is using a Samsung 980 Pro NVMe Gen 4 Gaming M.2 SSD on a Asus Prime Z690 motherboard. I used the SSD heatsink that came with the motherboard but the SSD temperature has been worrying high. At 25°C ambient temperature, the SSD is at 40°C when idle and could go up to 65°C after some read/write workload. It also takes quite a long time to cool back down to 40°C. My case is well ventilated and the CPU (i7-12700K) and GPU (RTX 3080) are booth running reasonably cool.As I have used other Thermalright stuff before so I picked this heatsink to see if it can lower the SSD temperature. I chose this heatsink simply because of its compact size as there is limited space between the CPU heatsink and the GPU on the motherboard. This heatsink is well built with silicone pads already placed on the upper and lower parts. Installation was straight forward (instruction included) but need to make sure the silicone pads fully cover the chips on both sides.The result is obvious, SSD steady at 35°C when idle and between 55°C to 58°C after workload. It also returned to 35°C much quicker. Very happy with this "upgrade".
