WD SN850 & Noctua NT-H1 Thermal Paste & MHQJRH Heatsink - No Thermal Pads

[@corolex]

Can this heatsink be installed if the gpu sits on top of the m2 slot?

[@starstak1]

@corolex - it is really going to depend on how much room you have left.

I have the same 2tb drive. Is the warranty not void after peeling off the sticker?

[@starstak1]

Yes. Once one removes the sticker the warranty is no longer valid as the sticker is the 'heatsink'. With my heatsink modification, I am actually maintaining around 40C to 42C with normal use so I am happy. These things can get to 90C under heavy workloads.

@@starstak1 Thats is true if you destroy the sticker,if you take it out intact you can put it back with no issues if a waranty is needed...

Only the Samsung 980 Pro has a copper sticker on the back for heat spreading. This one does not. Removing stickers always voids the warranty, but you can just put it back on.

Indeed, but this heat sink and paste work magic in keeping the temps down on the WD SN850.
