EK nvme heatsinks UNBOXED & Results

[HiperJZ]

Aoa guys,using nvme drives close to motherboard with minimal airflow will set drives rise to temps which can hinder their performance surely.

so i decided for these small heatsinks after checking some reviews.

below is the unboxing & application process of both my nvme drives.

i used Gelid 1.0mm and 0.5mm pads instead of provided pads with the blocks.

Before nvme heatsinks both drives were reaching 65c+ maximum and 42c minimum.

After nvme heatsinks both drives are now 51c maximum and 30c minimum.

Note : stock thermal pads provided with heatsinks are rated at 3.5 W/mk and Gelid thermal pads are rated at 12 W/mk , i am sure gelid pads are adding 30-40% better thermals.

The results are fantastic.
Can I ask, how much it costed you? Also, what are the safe temps on these nvme drives?

costed me 2500rs each,self import.
i have heard about 950 series getting high upto 75c+

these are thermally better designed i guess.

Nice ... I'm using 960 Evo 500gb in my laptop, can this mod fit into a laptop? How much thick SSD gets after this treatment?

Excellent, how do they stick to the drive? Are there any mounts? Also is this heatsink standard for any m2 drive or this specific drive.
Haven't used m2's because of the same temps issue as my slot is directly under GPU.
