Would be interesting to see if the WD Black or FireCuda run cooler with the SSD cover off.

[@ChillyWillLee]

Got a Sabrent heatsink & a 2tb Seagate Firecuda 530 for my PS5 a few weeks ago. Haven't come across any issues so far and thanks to this video, I don't have any buyers remorse on choosing the Sabrent heatsink over the more expensive Elecgear heatsink

[@firekungfuhero1150]

Well the ElecGear is out of stock anyway, so you did what you can

[@ChillyWillLee]

@@firekungfuhero1150 I had a chance to buy the ElecGear but ultimately decided not to because at the time there weren't many tests done on it. It's certainly a fine heatsink & maybe I would've bought it had this video come out back then. But @ 28:27 of the video is what put my mind at ease that the Sabrent still holds it's own. Really all the heatsinks in the video are good and I would've been happy with any of them tbh

@@ChillyWillLee did the Sabrent cover fit with the 530 & the pre installed heat sink? Thinking on doing exactly the same

Thanks for the feedback, I wanted to go for the same combination but I wasn't sure if it would be a good decision.

[@michaelsorokin1548]

In the tests it seems the elecgear performed cooler in every scenario including ambient temp, but in your conclusion you mention that sabrent heat sink performed best in terms of ambient temperature. My apologies if I had missed something in the video but could someone explain the difference to me please!

[@marioex497]

He said they all started at different baseline temperatures and while he doesn’t show the numbers, he’s focusing on the temperature change and overall for cost to performance the Sabrent is better

[@KillerTrap]

your numbers are all over the place and you get different results from vide to video. I suggest you control the ambient testing temperature to get more accurate results or maybe throw another ps5 to test hardware at the same time.

[@ViciousXUSMC]

Been going thru a bunch of your videos today. I just got a Crucial P5 Plus 2TB and the MHQJRH, witch looks line a clone of the Eluteng. I can't anticipate any issues, but I had to note the testing while so detailed also is not great because you cant A/B test something unless you only change one variable. In testing the different heatsinks you are also using different SSD's and that just invalidates so much of the data. I would love to see a new video of "ultimate showdown" where this is kept the same.

[@Payneleaf]

I'd love to see a video of one SSD with different heatsinks and run these tests. How crazy would that be that the one ssd would do better with another 3rd party heatsink?

[@fdurdenc]

Will the Sabrent heatsink work with the Gammix s70 blade with the heat spreader installed on the blade???

[@JonMsport]

I want the elecgear but can I can only find it on Amazon. And it’s “currently unavailable “. Guess I’ll just wait until it’s back in stock before upgrading my ssd. Great vids. Subbed!

[@DarkVeghetta]

It would be very useful if each starting temperature would be displayed at all times during these tests. Personally, I don't remember any of them after a few minutes and thus must rely purely on the commentary for such - which is not ideal, if serviceable.

[@codeebebout-valentine6534]

Great video! Love the amount of time and work you take to produce these videos with this kind of information! I'd be very interested in seeing the sheer difference between the the thermals the Sabrent heatsink and the ElecGear on the same drives. Thanks!!

[@matthiasdepenbusch8375]

Awesome video! I am about to get the Sabrent heat sink, but I do have a question: can you easily remove it when upgrading either the ssd or the PS5 to a possible Pro in the next years? Seems like it will all be pretty hard to get back out of the console or am I seeing problems where there are none?

[@dmo848]

No issue. Very easy to pop in and out. It's simple

[@antiflag46]

This actually influenced my decision from purchasing a Sabrent cover heatsink to purchasing the Elecgear heatsink. At first I thought it was a gimmick that wouldn't function but cant argue with thermal data collected at the controller chip.

[@HECKAKYH-ADEKBATEH]

Both you and the channel owner do not understand heatsink effect on ssd! While ssd controller works better when cooled, the storage cells operate slower when cold and degrade faster when hot. That means - the cells and the controller should never be connected together in one sink and the chips should have either no cooler or only small cooler on top of them.

[@HiltonFen]

@@HECKAKYH-ADEKBATEH What would your best recommendation be? I heard it can bit tricky to install the Elecgear.

[@HECKAKYH-ADEKBATEH]

@@HiltonFen if possible cool only the controller, it will wind down on overheat. If your chips get really hot (some multimeters have temperature probe, or measure it directly after use with laser) use heatpipe to both controller and nand connected to the large sink outside, so t doesnt exceed 35 deg Celcius. Worst situation is small sink that covers both controller and chips.

[@donniankyu3259]

Wish I watched this earlier. I have recently installed a Sabrent to accompany my 4tb venom. Anybody recommend something better?

[@MEDzZ3RO]

I’ve used the Sabrent H/S with a Firecuda 530 1tb. Have no complaints yet . As per another video on this channel he demonstrates how the sabrent heatsink does touch heatsinkless SSDs to offer reliable cooling.

@NASCompares Will you try the new GRAUGEAR PS5 SSD Heatsink Cover, M.2 NVMe PS5 Heatsink, Graphene Copper Foil Heat Dissipation with Heat Pipe Cooler and Aluminum Fin for NVMe M2 PCIe 4.0? GRAUGEAR created a new heatsink for the PS5.

[@ELEX0R]

I have the Firecuda 530 2TB and the Elecgear EL-P5C (ordered from Amazon Japan because nowhere else available). I‘m curious because of the temperatures from the downside of the Firecuda because it’s a double sided ssd and the Elecgear just covers the upside. Can you do a little research for me with your equipment & give some feedback about how good the Elecgear performs on double sided NVMe’s and how the temperature increase or decrease at the downside. Would be great! Happy new year and greetings from Germany 🇩🇪

[@dynamike549]

Same, I have the 4TB Firecuda with the Elecgear. I also ordered from Japan and we are neighbors (Netherlands) 😆 But too answer your question, there is a video on KZbin from someone who also checked the chips underneath and they where even cooler then the double sided heatsink. This sounds logical, cause heat will always flow towards cold. Law of thermal dynamics.

[@ELEX0R]

@@dynamike549 hey Bro, that’s cool :D The Firecuda is a hell of a beast for a NVMe. That’s the point why I’m not sure about the temperatures from the downside. The Firecuda is getting really hot under stress and without any heatsink from below I’m skeptical about the durability and performance. Maybe you can link the video. Thx in advance 🤘

[@dynamike549]

@@ELEX0R I fully understand bro. Those 2TB and 4TB's are expensive and we don't want them breaking of course. The video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJnOf3eAj9p4qNU But like I said, heat will always flow towards cold by law of thermal dynamics. So let's say that underside is getting 5 or 10c degrees warmer, that heat will move towards the other side of the SSD and into the heatsink seeking equilibrium. To test this you can take an old double sided ram module (if you have that laying around of course) and put it against a shortly warmed iron. That heat from the iron will reach your hand trough that ram module.

[@ELEX0R]

@@dynamike549 thank you for the video. Before I bought the ElecGear I already believed that this heatsink will do the job fairly good for double sided NVMe‘s, but these facts and numbers will let me sleep better in future ^^ I understand your thermodynamic point. Frankly if you see this tiny and bad ventilated slot for the NVMe just with that one-fan-negative-pressure principle through those two little openings from Sony, it left you behind with some questions and it’ll let you start to crank the gearwheels in your head automatically, especially if you have such a heat producing m.2 only half covered 😄 But in the end it seems to work better then expected and that’s all I want 🍻

A ssd uses what 5-8 watts. Watts are watts and thought SSDs can get hot the actual amount of heat they put out is practically nothing. I wouldn’t expect it to affect the overall heat of the system.

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Wd black isn't worth the price in my opinion only comes in a max of 2tb the firecuda is the best option in my opinion they come in a max of 4tb m.2 at this time as well as most people should be looking at tb size not mbs speeds because most ps5 games are 200 gbs or more so 1tb is 1000gbs and that won't last long with these massive 200gb game files plus all the game data and screen shots and trophy saves

I avoided getting a 980 Pro with it's own heatsink simply for the fact that it would severely limit you to what you can use it in. It's not going to fit inside a laptop or external adapter for example. The ElecGear or Sabrent heatsink cover paired with the 980 Pro (without a built-on heatsink) seemed like the way to go to future-proof the M.2 for when the PS5 is pretty much obsolete. Unless the PS6 comes with the same oversized slot without it's own heatsink, I can repurpose the 980 Pro

Would it be overkill to install a Firecuda with it's heatsink as well as a Sabrent heatsink? I live in South Florida. My PS5 is in an area close to my house thermostat and the heat does causes the AC to run so I need to keep heat to a minimum. All comments welcomed.

[@sanrasuzumaki942]

That Ps2 retro case is dope, specially cuz of the little colored logo.

[@langelotti]

Again, I couldn't understand which one is better!!!

[@vierus8u299]

I’ve just noticed, they have stopped selling the ElecGear. Anyone know why that is? I can’t find it anywhere not even on Amazon.

[@dan993]

For the ElecGear heatsink + T-Force Cardea A440 SSD, did you attach the thin graphene film to the ssd AND attach a standard thermal pad to the ElecGear heatsink? I am trying to figure out if I need to use a thermal pad on the ElecGear heatsink if I am already using the thin graphene film that comes with the T-Force Cardea A440 SSD? Did you use both the thin graphene film and a thermal pad on the heatsink? Thanks for your help and excellent job on the comparison! The temperatures are rather impressive with the ElecGear heatsink + T-Force Cardea A440 SSD.

[@fonze47th89]

Can you combo a firecuda with an additional heatsink?

[@hurehurley]

Too bad the elecgear has no option for double sided ssds with 4TB

[@zrettyzretty]

Looking for some info... is it possible to put a fermal strip over the top of seagate firecuda 530 button heatsink then put the plate over that on the ps5 ?

Now I want to sale the WD that I'm about to receive...😔

[@josephschnabel1andonly]

how about the kingston fury renegade ? i have yet to see any reviews.

Use the aluminum fin on the WDBlack.

[@nathantaylor6495]

Where did you get that ps2 themed panel!

[@nascompares]

Cheers for watching. Just put together a guide on it. Fairly low cost and I am adding this to the end of a video coming soon - nascompares.com/custom-ps2-design-build-for-the-playstation-5/

[@georginaK21]

Can the Elecgear heatsink be used with the firecuda?

[@thomasgarcia2557]

Would it make any difference if your not running an ssd?

[@ultimablackmage]

I ended up paying the extra AU$250 for the Firecuda 530 2TB over the Aorus 7000s 2TB as I looked at the longer life & thermals being better & I had the extra money at the time. Glad I avoided the WD Black though, yikes that runs hot!

[@Disk-Etiquette]

I have the 1TB WD Black SN850 SSD with the ElecGear heatsink cover to keep it cooler 👍

[@SirFartsAlot1]

@@Disk-Etiquette did you have to put on any of the included extra stuff in the elecgear to raise the ssd up more? If not does it make enough contact to it? Like can you feel the thermal pad touching it? I'm planning on getting the elecgear but am worried about it not making the best contact

Great video! I am curious, when it comes time to upgrade the ssd storage on the ps5, any ideas on how to transfer data off the drive and onto a new one? Especially if the onboard storage is completely full.

[@elliotroberts8298]

Maybe if you did PS5 > New drive, then Old drive > PS5 then PS5 > New drive again?

[@mr1983]

@@elliotroberts8298 but what if the PS5 drive is already full? 😬

[@elliotroberts8298]

@@mr1983 You can just transfer it to the new drive, then your ps5 will be free

Thinking about it… Perhaps I could move it all to an external drive? Then back onto the new one…

[@gyulamoldvan]

What about the 2tb seagate ssd or wd black 2 tb ssd

[@danielshallberg9266]

Can I get the same ps5 covers as you?

[@timothy2830]

Thank you for mentioning not putting the cover on... had arguments with people on reddit (probably 12 year olds) about that... they didn't seem to get the idea of airflow.

[@McMentall]

so is it a good thing or a bad thing :/ some people say it is some people say it isn’t

[@unhatedthingsihate1099]

Now which heatsink do you preferred

[@richardoh3666]

Robbie could you please compare addlink A95 with Firecuda 530? Both have a built in heatsink.
