@不謹親相姦 what?

[@goldmeistergeneral]

When you removed the copper heat spreader from the NVMe drive I almost passed out. Don't do that youtube viewer! The "sticker" is more conductive than the thermal pad, and is sometimes essential for proper heat transfer of the drive! I would understand if the sticker had no thermal conductivity, but the ones with copper in them are needed to properly disperse the heat before being transferred to the air/ motherboard heatsink. This is a similar reason to why we don't delid every CPU then attach a heatsink, plus the copper sticker provides an actual even surface to attach the thermal pad onto for better transfer.

Do not forget to mention that this BluRay writes M-Disc! M-Disc is a great way to backup and store data for the long term. I bought an M-Disc-writer 3 weeks ago and it's awsome.
