GRAUGEARM.2 2280 SSD Heatsink, Direct-Touch Heat of Dual Copper Heat Pipes, 25mm Cooling Fan Built-in PWM Control, Aluminum Plate-Fin Design, Thermal Pads incl., 1.34 in Height [G-M2HS03-F]

My WD Black NVMe drive was running at around 58C before installing this. Within normal operating temperature, but heat is a killer so I decided to give this heatsink a try. Pleasantly surprised, the drive temp is now 48C under load and runs around 32C idle.Installation was a breeze even with Gigbyte's tool-less nvme drive "screw" replacement (I hate those things). Fan noise is non-existent, but I just might not be able to hear it as there are 8 120mm fans running and 3 2U systems in the rack this sits on. It's in my basement so it's not an issue.One thing to note is in my application it was not a tight squeeze but if the heatsink itself were any longer I would not have been able to use it as it would have hit the pcie release tab.If you are looking for a way to cool an nvme drive in your system this might be what you are looking for.

I had come across this cooler when I was comparing it and others with Sabrents passive NVME cooler and even though there was one reviewer here that said their fan did not work but the heat sink it’s self was still able to cool his drive by 10-15 degrees C I decided based on his review and others to purchase this and I am not disappointed. It was fun to install I highly recommend you peel the plastic off of the thermal pads with a fine tweezers as that was the easy way for me and apply the thermal pads like you would a band aid. The most tedious part of the installation was properly positioning the thermal pads but after you do it’s a breeze. I was able to create an optimized power curve for the WD Black 770 1 TB drive I installed it on in SIV which is the fan tuner that came with my gigabyte aurous elite motherboard and I got a 20 degree C drop in M.2 temperature on a 70 degree day. As I live outdoors i can get ambient temps of 15 degrees and this cooler can literally bring the temp of an M2 drive down to 44 degrees F which is what I set my thermal probe to read. For the practical design and the performance I got from this drive cooler it has earned five stars.

Great product. Keeps my nvme ssd cool. It used to over heat during file transfers.

it doesn't fit my asus x870-E motherboard.Edit: Seller was kind enough to reach out and issue a refund..

I have a really tight space for the SSD on my board and there's no other way to deliver even a little fresh air to it. Before this heatsink I had another passive (huge) one without a fan and I had 79C without heatsink and 69C with that old one and the temperature never went down.And now with the GRAUGEAR I have 52C! This is magic. And it's really quiet, you only hear it if you put your ear really next to it.The only downside it's too long so I had to shift it and the proposed screw holes never worked. So I had to put a spacer between that heatsink and CPU fan to fix it in place. I really recommend the engineers to make more holes in the bottom metal part, or instead of holes make it a one long hole so the heatsink had space to move back/forward for more motherboard options

After installing the product I seen the drop in temp that is advertised but seeing it go back to previous temp numbers I checked and seen the fan does not spin no matter what I did to influence it. I removed and tested the fan on other fan headers but nothing worked changed the powers that the fan received but nothing I think I saw it spin for a second then nothing.

good works fine, no issues

My drive was running hot with just a heat spreader at 76*C and this brought it down to the 56 max which is pretty impressive. It’s a little bulky and clunky to install but not too difficult. It’s very quiet unless you have your fans always at idle or off you won’t hear it’s fan even then it’s almost impossible hear I had to shine a light on it to see if it was spinning, fan cable is decently long as well.
