That’s a chunky boi
Back to $330.
That looks ridiculous.
If I cut a hole in the side of my ps5 this will make it look like it's got a supercharger.
It looks crazy, but it should be effective… the only issue is, most nvme slots are under your gpu, you're screwed then with this v8 turbocharger hangin out your nvme bonnet.
You spelt bonut wrong.
that looks so extra, for not having fans in there. I am sure having the fin stack directly on the PCB, save the usage of heat pipe is a simpler design ?
We are going to look back on these heatsinks and think 'wow, that was kinda stupid'. In the early 2020s the controllers on the M.2 drives were so hot, they needed coolers 10 times their size.
I remember when RAM started getting heat sinks I I thought that was so useless.. now its almost universal .. plus RGB.
Not sure how often ram has heatsink for practical purposes vs looks.
RAM doesn't have heatsinks. It's just pieces of plastic for cosmetic reasons that trap in hot air. Not that it matters because standard ram doesn't run hot enough to warrant even passive cooling, only people doing wild overclocking records take off the plastic part and air cool them.
Where are you getting your info from? Ram running at 1.5v + do get hot! Do a test on some old school DDR2 which ran at 3v sometimes, even more on some sticks. Sure they don't need heavy cooling these days but ANY cooled component runs better and healthier & lasts longer.

1.5v is heavy OC territory, these aren't the ddr2 days…
99% of memory that gets posted here typically runs 1.35v, maybe 1.4v for the more exotic kits.
but ANY cooled component runs better and healthier & lasts longer.
Ram already typically comes with a 'lifetime' warranty as it's one of the last components to ever die out after it passes the first couple months. Rather it'll be completely outdated by the time it does die which manufacturer's bank on since they know you'd have little reason to claim it 10+ yrs on due to obsolescence/other components dying out.
@JerraJones: Nearly all DDR3 ram runs at 1.5v-1.65v stock. DDR4 is less at 1.35v. Yes ram outlasts most components but i'd bet that ram WITH heatsinks perform better and last longer due to the cooling, compared to those that don't have heatsinks. That's why you see sticks without heatsinks sell in bundles on fleabay for gold recovery.
@JerraJones: I had 2 bad sticks of plain green 2GB Corsair DDR2 RAM that I sent into them and they sent me out 2x 4GB DDR3 with the fancy huge spiked metal heatsinks as replacements for free. Used the ram in a new build, was good times.
Decades ago, rams absolutely dope with heatspreader / heatsinks / heatpipes / RGB dual mini fans on top / or even watercooled.
you're shitting me, I'd have bought it in a heartbeat. See what happens when you go to the supermarket for milk <sigh>
Damn, would've been perfect for my OzB build (assuming it fits the NXTG case that came up the other day)
That's not a heatsink, it's a heatplunge.
These heatsinks provide virtually no benefit over the ones built into motherboards (if you board has these): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00OxGXD1JJo
To be fair, he was comparing them to the big chungus aorus master heatsinks that cover a third of the board. Not heatsink block that you commonly see that only cover the ssd. https://youtu.be/00OxGXD1JJo?t=185
That heatsink with the 9000rpm fan is INSANE!! I'd love to get one just to try it out lol
I bought one of these and it didn't fit in my motherboard. They use a captive screw that's bolted around the heatsink, so if your motherboard has tool-less M.2 like ASUS Q-Latch or whatever MSI calls it, you're SOL unless you unscrew and rip off the heatsink.
This is the AIB business model. Take a piece of tech with a razor-thin profit margin, slap a $5 cooler on it and maybe some RGB, $100-$200 markup. Profit.
The marketing teams are trying to trick consumers into believing that such beefy heatsinks are necessary.
That true, papa Homer?
This heatsink is oversized but temperature not much improved
I've never seen a cooler on a SSD like that before!
