EZDIY-FAB Shield ARGB M.2 2280 SSD Heatsink, Built-in 20mm PWM Fan, White

I'm absolutely blown away with the performance of this little NVME cooler. The heat-sink on this thing is MASSIVE in comparison to an actual nvme size and the two thermal strips that go above and below the nvme must do a lot of work in terms of cooling. The heat-sink and cooler itself is surprisingly heavy and the RGB is beautiful. It comes with a tiny screwdriver and installing it is a breeze. Once you place the thermal strips on and unscrew the heatsink, you place the NVME in between the bottom slate and the heat-sink and close it. After that, the nvme becomes one with the heat-sink/cooler and you just install it like normal. The nvme is daisy chain compatible and the fan plugs into any fan slot on the motherboard. I cannot hear the fan at all no matter how close I get to it. When everything is done, the results speak for themselves. 16C drop... unreal. For the price and the performance, it seems like a no brainer. I'd imagine even without the fan, this would drop the temperature like crazy due to the massive heat-sink. The best part of all, it's aesthetically beautiful. It literally looks like a mini-GPU. One of the best computer accessories I've ever purchased.

My wife’s drive would hit 78c on a Western Digital Black 2TB Gen4 and it would cause freezes and system hangs. This heatsink with combination with thermal Grizzly Minus Pad 8 I was able to bring it down to 38c max it would run at full speed no throttles! It matches the aesthetics! There’s a slight clearance issue but nothing you can’t solve by moving your drive on the walls of the heatsink retainer! Lights profile matches! When you do your lighting make sure to select 3 RGB LEDs so you can sink it nicely! Other than that it’s the best purchase made! It’s a bang for you buck! Installation is easy! You can lower the rpm’s and it’s quiet! Like I said mounting can be a slight fit issue but I managed to make it work!

Confirmed to fit on Asrock Phantom Gaming Z790 ITX Because my PC is watercooled in a smaller case, there’s not much airflow around the CPU socket. The original heatsink was tiny and my front SSD was in the 70°s. Putting this on dropped temps about 15°C! I recommend routing your cables behind and under your GPU. The fan at 30% speed makes a very faint whir but it’s gonna be imperceptible in practical use. RGB is kinda neat to have. Would buy again!

4 pin fan control and a 3 pin RGB plug are needed to get the most out of this and the inch or so of clearance above the M.2. Just wanted to get that bit out of the way, compatibility was my worry. That said this thing inspires great confidence. From the secure fit of the screwed in M.2 bay in the heat sink to the snug fit it has inside the fan cool aluminum block and of course the looks, this thing is great. Easy to mount, sticks solid in place, keeps things cool (both looks and temp wise). My only advice is double check you have the physical clearance! This fits my smaller PC no problem but my full ATX board has zero room for it.

Seems pretty effective, within reason. I have drone footage that I move back and forth from my primary SSD and with this active heat sink on both drives, it takes a couple of minutes before the drives throttle down their throughput. Before, I'd get 10 seconds, tops. They're on the same bus, so it's the fastest data transfer I've ever witnessed on my machine. I don't know all the intricacies of read/write IO or buffering, I just noticed a considerable performance increase with cooling vs none. RGB is nice to put in sync with some of the other lighting my rig came with too. So, unless all you do is make bulk transfers between drives, these little active sinks work quite well, and I can see them keeping game loading times to a minimum.

M.2 cooler works and looks great

This little thing is amazing! The quietest I’ve tried so far definitely recommend this. And the temperatures have been excellent.

Works and looks awesome in my computer. Be careful buying if your m.2 slot is really close to your GPU slot. I had to file down the lock release just a bit to get it to fit

キオクシアのGen5 SSDをマザーボードのヒートシンクに入れて使っていました。 BEFORE: Idle 49℃ Under load 80℃ AFTER: Idle 32℃ Under load 42℃ 大体20℃前後の差がありました。 だが、使用しているArctic LF IIIのポンプにスペースを取られてしまって、前入れていたスロットには入りませんでした。仕方なく一番下のM.2スロットに入れて使用しています。同じくCPU Gen5なので性能に影響がないはずです。 RGBは想像以上に明るくて光害レベルなので、そこもご注意ください。 場所的に入れられる且つGen5 SSDを使用の方にはおすすめです。

I put two of these things on an MSI MEG ACE Z890 mobo, one on a Crucial T705 NVMe5 4TB M.2 drive and the other to replace the factory heatshield on a Samsung 990 Pro 4TB, both 12 months old. The Crucial dropped from 68 to 55 under light load and the Samsung from 66 to 49. Now the NVMe5 drives do run pretty hot but the MSI mobo stock heatsink is a pretty robust static affair, yet this simple, quiet active heatsink has given me a heap of headroom to really get the thing cranking. Previously, I did suffer intermittent bouts of glacial performance during thermal throttling. It is early days, but I am thinking this is a reliable fix for that issue, undoubtedly greatly extending the ssd's life in the interim! Re the Samsung drive, it gets a fair flogging and the factory heatsink is just not getting the job done, totally fixed now. An identical drive, except it is a year older with double the hours and now on archive duty, is still running OK, but even it is at 55 while the newer one is now at 49. These new active heatsinks are a pretty easy install. Tight, but they fit just fine as they are short enough for both the slot connector and rear attachments to work, and a couple of mm wider which makes them tight for adjacent components, but no physical pressure, for my setup anyway. Without messing about with led settings, they produce a breathing rainbow effect through the full colour spectrum, very pleasant! I ordered another one to put on that older 990 Pro, they are pretty easy to take the covers off with a special screwdriver and a guitar pic.

Perfect

Amazing quality and my NVMe is now idling at ~40C instead of >60C and will not go over 60C when using it.
