An NVMe cooler nearly identical to that one has been for sale on Ali Express for some time now. I bought one for $7, and it has been keeping the swap drive on my video editing machine cool for over a year now. Love it!
@@PlayingItWrong Yeah exactly. They can be quite large too. This is relatively small especially compared to the MSI Frozr model I looked at recently. It can be fine tuned to be silent which is the important part though.
Maybe we should be getting more efficient controllers using more advanced manufacturing nodes like TSM 3NM improved. Instead of needing crazy cooling like this idk 🤷♂️
There is a much better solution for fan speed, which uses a very cool, open-source software called FanControl. It can control any fan to any temperature sensor you have and also supports zero RPM mode.
@brookerobertson2951 Sadly not for sustained workloads on PCIe SSDs unfortunately. Even with large motherboard heatsinks they can throttle quite quickly
I have only one question who actually needs speed like this and for what purpose ? Do people just run synthetic tests just like Cinebench for CPU. As far as I remember MS said that Gen3 speed will be enough for Microsoft DirectStroage and I guess only 2 games have it and loads 200-600 millisecond faster.

Great vid!
I still feel like big the passive ones like the thermalright hr-10 are what I would choose, but it'd depend on good case airflow.

@@CrazyTechLab it's a damn shame the m.2 standard doesn't include fan power delivery, because having a cable across the motherboard is another issue.
@PlayingItWrong That’s a very good point actually.

This is match the Tomahawk blackout theme nicely. Can this cooler be used for the Crucial T705 as well?
Yeah they’re pretty much the same
SSD underneath anyway.
There's a certain type of person who buys things like this for their computer. The same type of person that puts extra chrome trim on their car. Lol
Not really. Fast drives run hot, and when they get hot they slow down.

4:31 ..... Most often these 5.0 SSD's are UNDER your GPU !, So no place to put an special (useless) cooler on it ! ( you see it at 13:25 )
That slot is above your graphics card on this motherboard. Most motherboards have at least one PCIe5 M.2 slot above the graphics card
That's why the smart ones use AIO cooling :)
It doesn't take up much space and cools superbly
Need to remove or not the thermal pad that comes with the motherboard before adding this to the PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot?
Depends if it fits but generally yes you do not need any additional pads or heatsinks being involed. You won't see any benefit
@@CrazyTechLab I am asking this because of a missing thermal pad. If need to RMA the motherboard, will it cause any problems?
I have the Acidalie M.2 SSD heatsink (passive cooler) and it is legit. I wouldn't want yet another fan going unless I had to.
Simple heat sink and some decent airflow as more than adequate. If you think you need something like this you have bigger problems.

0:24 ..... People can that same SSD ( from another brand ) for just 120 bucks ! And DON'T need active (loud) cooling !
The cooling can easily be made silent. You should watch the video.

So the avarage PC user can better get the 990 pro.....
It's a good SSD, but PCIe 5 is mainly about sequential speeds.
