What is the best M.2 Heatsink?

[@FatHead1979]

Lovely job. No pointless filler, sensible approach to testing and displaying the results, exactly how these sort of group test videos should be. Subbed to the channel purely on the basis of this 1 video.

[@KnowledgeSharingTech]

Thanks for the sub!

[@feeshifeeshi]

Great video! I've seen a ton of people saying all heatsinks are the same, but this video helped me a lot for choosing the correct one for me. Thanks!

[@KnowledgeSharingTech]

Glad it helped!

[@followthemoonrabbit]

Amazing video! Thank you for actually comparing different recent solutions instead of the binary "should you / should you not use a heatsink" videos that most channels have. When I built my current desktop, I noticed how motherboard manufacturers now like to put "stylish" heatsinks on their motherboards - and it's good to check against heatsinks made specifically for the purpose as I'm finding the stock motherboard ones can do little (though obviously more than not having any heatsink at all). Even a random entry-level XClio and a double-sided EZDIY-FAB heatsink takes off 10C and 17-18C more respectively than the stock heatsinks on my Asus TUF Z790 board. At the time of writing this, the Thermalright HR10 costs half the price of the be quiet! MC1 in the UK so it's a no-brainer -- as long as it fits, of course. I'll have to measure how much space I have on my board between the GPU and the main m.2 slot that currently houses my Samsung 990 Pro OS drive. That's the one I want to protect the most :)

[@irfok727]

Thermalright is the perfect heatsink.....but for my motherboards VRM lol. B660M DS3H. The top vrms does not have heatsink so I will go with this. Really appreciate this video , Thank you very much.

[@dragoonxgamer]

Thank you because of you i finally found whats the real temp difference

[@KnowledgeSharingTech]

Welcome

[@quintusdiast3477]

M.2 Heatsink is dirt cheap compared to the value provided, everyone should have it

[@westfield90]

Thank you. Just the video I was looking for. Clear concise and well presented

[@KnowledgeSharingTech]

Glad it was helpful!

[@TheColonelJJ]

Perfect! Exactly what information I was looking for. I'm adding a Be Quiet BZ003 to my MCI Spatium M480 Pro.

[@KnowledgeSharingTech]

Glad I could help!

[@elijahnoah]

Thermalright make one of the best heatstink on the market right now. Especially their CPU Air cooler.

[@NorthernLightSouth]

Thanks for this comparison! Subscribed.

[@pw9ei]

Thanks for this, an excellent way to demonstrate the difference for different levels of heatsinks. Suggestion - can you run the test with the HR10 Pro fan OFF?

[@LokiDaFerret]

LoL. That last heat sync is a behemoth! Sadly I have on 17mm of headspace. 🤷‍♂️ But thanks for the video!! Very informative.

[@zechssiguro7476]

Laptops be trying to fit into bikini's these days...for no good reason, but "portability", I'm gonna have a similar dimension fight to fit a heatsink in mine.

[@LokiDaFerret]

@@zechssiguro7476 respond to this after the 22nd when my Be Quiet MC1 Pro arrives from Amazon US. We'll see if it works as advertised. Current SSDs hovering at about 46° C under virtually no load (very poor heat management in this QNAP NAS)

[@spodule6000]

The skinny ones can be useful if there's absolutely no space for a heatsink. My laptop SSD (Samsung PM981 2TB in a Thinkpad Yoga 370) has no heatsink at all, and I'm going to try and fit a solid copper 2mm thick one and see what differentce it makes.

[@simptrix007]

I am glad that whatever tall heatsink (in my case 36mm) does fit under RTX 4090 Windforce on B450 Carbon. Sometimes compatibility of the future upgrades is more about the luck. The more I learn the harder it is to choose futureproof motherboard wisely.

[@silverfluoride5073]

Nice work, exactly what I wanted

[@heursault3762]

appreciate this, ty

[@canAbass122]

Great video! God bless thank you for the information and thorough tests

[@KnowledgeSharingTech]

Glad it was helpful!

[@archabusaleh]

Thank you for sharing the knowledge :)

[@KnowledgeSharingTech]

My pleasure!

[@phykios]

Awesome video man!

[@Tiber234]

Brava! - succinct and to the point vid well done after your assessment im sold on the Be Quiet

[@KnowledgeSharingTech]

Glad it was helpful!

[@GraphicdesignforFree]

Very interesting, thanks!

[@codygrinnell8676]

great video!! I'm curious how the top ones would do agaist a 5.0 drive

[@KnowledgeSharingTech]

Great suggestion!

[@GuerreroUAM]

Fue de mucha ayuda, Gracias!

[@rotnbazturd7569]

Thanks for video

[@KnowledgeSharingTech]

Most welcome

[@unglaubichuberlieber8048]

danke, definitely very informative+detail,

[@KnowledgeSharingTech]

Glad it was helpful!

[@EnnaKrs]

Can I ask if HR 10 2280 Pro can cause pcb stress due to the weight ?

[@KnowledgeSharingTech]

Not that I know of and I didn't experience this with my installation

[@noesome]

Awesome man

[@KnowledgeSharingTech]

Thanks!

[@LokiDaFerret]

Would you happen to know the difference between the Be Quiet MC1 and the Be Quiet MC1 Pro? The MC1 is a bit cheaper.

[@KnowledgeSharingTech]

The MC1 doesn’t have heat pipes and the MC1 pro has heat pipes

[@mr.electronx9036]

Pro tip: if you buy nvme heatsink, don't use their standard cheap thermal pads. Get a good thermal pads like arctic. your temps drop even more.

[@kazuviking]

Usingn thermal putty will drop temps even more.

[@ascensaoomega541]

Olá sou do Brasil! Will this latest model get along well with a NOCTUA NH-D15? I have an ASUS B550 TUF GAMING, due to the size of the NOCTUA, I think that the two together may not have space, hence the question, as I still don't have the NOCTUA NH-D15 to see the dimensions and space, thank you for the answer, Good luck with your work and have a good 2024.

[@KnowledgeSharingTech]

Hello, thank you for your wishes and Happy New year to you too. I don't have the Noctua so I really can't tell.

[@billythecat]

Hi. Do you know if Thermalright HR10 Pro support double-sided ssd? And does it come with two thermal pads for bottom and top?

[@KnowledgeSharingTech]

This will answer your questions: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fGPceZeYrcqefqM

[@billythecat]

@KnowledgeSharingTech sorry but I still can't tell if the ssd tested in that video is single sided or double sided.

[@jamesFX3]

​@@billythecat all of these M.2 coolers come with two thermal pads, one for the bottom (thicker pad) and one for the top side that's going to be in contact with the heatsink/heatpipe (thinner pad).

[@LEMON48]

So how is it Axagon CLR-M2XL in max temp to this mini fan m.2 cooler ???????

[@KnowledgeSharingTech]

I didn't try the CLR-M2XL

[@yasnier3568]

👍

[@rnegoro1]

So what if my m2 drive is kinda hindered by the gpu ?

[@KnowledgeSharingTech]

If you can fit the MC1 pro or the beefy Thermalright, they will be enough

[@julianokhoshaba1]

you are so awesome. i love your videos. thank you

[@KnowledgeSharingTech]

Thank you Juliano and you rock!
