Your ALLY SSD upgrade isn't safe until you cool it

If you decide to upgrade your ROG ALLY SSD, especially to one with high speeds, you need to make sure it has enough cooling otherwise heat will shorten its life and even cause nearby components to overheat

for a cheap price, you can fix this issue by adding a copper heatsink that would highly severe your ALLY in the long run

So i noticed you butchered your Ally back cover. How will we be so sure we will get the same result as you are with a non modified back cover?

[infoseek]

It is not only the heat problem it is also the Thermal throtteling that introduces stutter in the framerate. I tried my Micron 1TB and I got 75 C in comparison to 62 with the original one. Thermal throtteling starts with 70 with these models

[mykeb]

Sabrent Rocket 2tb, temps are great stock. I personally only use custom TDP, 22w(23-25boost), fans @100% 90c & cpu boost OFF 99% of time, unless trying to obtain better low % fps. Nosey Debloat tool will help a ton too. But you’ll see a HUGE difference in temps turning overclock settings down, cpu boost etc. I may argue a Ally with heat sink could break motherboard/screen if dropped right too. If you got a SSD overheating, I would use a thermal pad, they come with enclosures.

Does faster ssd matter when it comes to game performance aside from faster loading? it's not ram and ram is being read on the fly and ssd is just read when the game loads oh btw there's a feature with newer games called streaming texture streaming audio streaming from the ssd oh so i think it does impact performance so a faster ssd makes more sense

[itsquiwi]

the point is not that it needs to be super cooled even if coper did make a big diffrence its alot more pricy and harder to do so its not worth it at all to do cuz you gain nothing at all but mabey a few c in temp

[JValiant]

Does thermal pad thickness make a difference? Like if I pair the 1.5 mm one with the big heatsink, will it be better than if I use the 1mm with the big heatsink?

GUYS, next video will clear many doubts, its WIP,

you really dont need to use a heat sink unless youre using a high end 2280 that hits 7000mbps

[Flx]

Hey, I love the comparison to the heat sinks! I put in a plate copper plate and get 73 degrees und a average degree from 63. Maybe because I used a thicker cool pad?

[fiddy]

Nice job! Maybe a peltier cooler between the ssd and the copper heatsink will bring a litte more cooling and more nicer temperatures. You should have a look on it ;)

[shilu]

Good job dude!
A few words ;p
When the backplate is by default, the air entrance is between the ssd and the left vent, which would in theory create a flow to move the hot around the ssd towards the fan. BUT, given that by default the ssd has no heatsink, I don't think much hot aire would move... What you are achieving is passively cooling the ssd with a heatsink, while opening a hole right over the fan. So there are 2 benefits: 1 is lower temps on the ssd and 2nd is lower temp on the apu, as it is not being cooled by sucking hot air coming from the ssd. The diference iits not night and day, but hey, 2-3 degrees by a 5$ heatsink worth it imo.
Keep on the good content!

Of course hitting the ssd with benchmarks will make it hot. In real world just loading games its going to be fine. 100% load loops isnt real world usage.
