[@GyroCannon]

SSD makers thinking that being first to market is important, forgetting that shoving big heatsinks in any system is likely impractical. (Imagine trying to put this into a rackmount server chassis, where things are already very compact) Klevv is gonna win this fight.

[@DavidA20200]

I put a my Crucial T700 in my Corsair XM2 and plumbed it into my custom water loop. Works perfect!

[@TechRIP]

The thing with SSD heatsinks is that you always have to modify them since it also cools the nand flash. So we always have to strip that pad off. If companies want to produce heatsinks, they need to do them correctly and only concentrate on the controller.

[@112Famine]

I think the best Solution would be highly shielded extension cable(s) & once you have the SSD Gen5 out from under your GPU, &/or CPU, or no longer buried on the back of your m/b, we need to water cool the SSD w/ a dual sided waterblock, hell lets not do this half-assed, might as well include the RAM into this new waterblock, now we just need someone to Manufacture them. And since ITX builds are once again becoming all the rage (did they ever stop?), a two ram stick as well as a 4 ram stick versions would be needed, & with the SSD, make them all fit dual SSDs. As always it's nice to have the option to upgrade/add-on to your storage.

[@marctech1996]

The E26 being on 12nm was always a sign that this was a lazily put out solution to monetize on the early hype for Gen 5. The latest Phison E31T, which is technically a lower variant, is build on 7nm. Anybody who really wants a Gen 5 drive with fewer compromises should wait for a new high end Phison controller based on 7nm or whatever Samsung puts into their Gen 5 drives. Everything currently on the market is simply not worth the price

[@rmorenberg]

I remember KLEVV since ddr3 and ddr4. they always fascinated me

[@Meck5531]

SSD coolers should be sold separately. Similar to CPU coolers. A lot of manufactures that add SSD cooling of their own will loose money simply because they won't fit in to motherboards.

[@Parinirva]

lol I love the chemistry between you two 😂

[@Compusemble]

I've tested the Crucial T700 Gen5 SSD on my channel, and have been using it daily in my system for about a month now since receiving an early unit from Micron, and haven't had any issues with it. It doesn't have any active cooling and the heatsink has a low profile, so it should fit in any build. It does get hot, but the heatsink is good enough to prevent any significant thermal throttling. This SSD should age well. The Gen5 SSDs that come with active cooling are annoyingly loud.

[@ChrisRamseyer]

For the record, the data corruption issue was fixed with a firmware update long before this video was published. As for the AMD demo system you referred to, the system had a couple of air inlet fans for the case but they were configured at such a low setting they barely spun. Add in the GPU, CPU, and other components and the system was basically a oven.

[@DoctorX17]

I'm sorta amazed that they figured out how to get CPUs to run so slowly that they won't explode without a cooler, and worst case will turn off the system, but they haven't figured out how to throttle an SSD to not crash and cause corruption... Also, I like the RAM, it looks sleek and pretty

Hopefully SK Hynix, Micron, WD and/or Samsung come up with some good custom controllers. Need to see someone make gains in random r/w this generation.

[@lennard9331]

PCI-E Gen 5 done right would've been to combine it with a motherboard that wires two lanes per M.2 SSD in order to wire more of them directly to the CPU, clearing up PCI-E lanes for other devices through the chipset.

[@marinipersonal]

Nesting the NVME under the GPU, as every motherboard does now doesn’t do it any favours. As the NVMEs get hotter than they’re now, there is no chance it will be able to (safely) operate, unless is away from the GPU and with some serious cooling.

[@cosmic_cupcake]

[@TimLongson]

Surely the answer is just open custom water loop cooling; you can buy M.2 and DDR5 waterblocks which will cool components like gen5 SSDs BETTER than huge heat sinks, whilst being only a fraction of the size! Have you seen an RTX4090 size reduction when converted to a custom water block? It's past time that even mid-range PCs switched to open loops. Case manufacturers could have options to sell them with a pre-installed open water loop (radiators, fans, pump, flexible tubing and blocks, pre-pressure checked for leaks) , so people just need to add a motherboard, CPU, RAM, GPU (they could buy one pre-waterblocked) and storage, and attach the flexible tube looped water blocks and add water!

[@VaingloriousGaming]

where does ANY ssd with a cooler even go? The past several builds I've done have the PCIe 5.0 slot right under the GPU.

[@georgeindestructible]

You can make any cooler as massive as you like but what matter is when you hit diminishing returns in relationship to when you start throttling speed of a component because you hit its thermal limits, to simplify this, thermal capacity is as much as the cooler's mass and material, if you saturate it fast enough, it doesn't matter much how good it is, it's heating capacity doesn't really matter after that point for the most part(especially if you ALWAYS want to prevent throttling, unless you put your PC out in the Sun of course or inside some extreme source of heat for whatever reason), what matters is the temperature transfer rate, basically, if a drive can never saturate a heatsink/the heatsink allows it to never throttle even in the worst realistic conditions especially in the summer for example and especially if you leave in a very hot place and have no other way to cool the space the PC is in, then the related design is superior to pretty much anything, but that almost never really happens especially if you hammer a drive with reads and writes for long enough, which is where active cooler comes to aid and is need but most of the time not directly, usually mildly aggressive airflow will cool NVMEs with a decent heatsink very easily enough to (almost?) never get close enough to throttle limits.

So I believe we have to wait a while until game devs knows that a majority of consumers are at least using gen 4 nvme's at the speeds recommended by xbox and playstation, because then they should be able to do the same "direct whatever access" that the consoles can do to stream textures, as an example, directly to the gpu, instead of going through the ram.
