ineo M.2 2280 SSD Rocket Heatsink M3 on WD Black SN850

Answering Subscribers Questions, Pablo requested this Heatsink Test. This is M.2 NVMe Heatsink #12! We'll do an Unboxing, Inspection, Installation and Test on the Gigabyte TRX40 Designare Motherboard on 2nd M.2 Connector to the CPU for Heat and Speed. However, We will do 2 Tests, Active vs Passive Cooling. And We have Updated the Heatsink Chart from the last Heat Test.

My guy, you did not have to go that hard on this review.
I appreciate the effort in going the extra mile. Very good video.

This is the most detail orientated PC building channel on youtube. Huge fan and new subscriber.

My PC was giving BSOD whenever there was any disk intensive task. My MP600 was sitting at 61C at idle (30C ambient), would spike up in temp under normal reads and give BSOD. I had a StarTech 5.25 Bay Dual Fan HDD Cooler lying around, took out the fans and zip tied them to the MP600 Heatsink. Idle temp on the MP600 is around 30C, under full stress test goes 50C. Very happy.

Very impressive active cooling experiment

You have to make another video with the new NOCTUA fan installed. I saw your video through. Please make honor to me.

Love your reviews! MagiDeal M.2 2280 SSD heatsink just came out. I believe it is the closest to getting a retail version of the copper aorus heatsink.

[raonialbues]

That was a nice video ! Congratulations sir. Watching from Brazil.

[jserenity]

So extensive! You have some serious patience

[AkenValle]

Thank you for such a gret work! Just found your chanell and it's a blast!

Copper and Aluminum don't like to come in contact with each other. It is called galvanic corrosion, in time they will corrode each other, unless aluminum is cladded, which reduces the corrosion but reduces the thermal conductivity too. I am amazed how manufacturers put them together, just like that.

Thanks a lot for doing the extra tests, i had a feeling that it will dominate, but i was wrong, the Acidalie is the best and by a lot. I would say the Digifast for $12 is also the best for a value oriented heatsink, while the Acidalie cost double but performs better, the rest of heatsinks imo are to expensive for their performance.

[FerdAboubakrOnline]

with a fan on, the performance is a little disappointing, from the basic knowledge i have, using forced air on a heatsink (aka active cooling) you can get 2 X to 2.7 X more cooling capacity from the same heatsink assuming everything is done the right way ....
thank you for the video, awesome content as always

[VSP]

Thank you. Very useful for people that want to lower the temperature of the SSD. Anyhow, I see good job on a very crowded motherboard. Why they put the SSA between the Video card and the CPU??? It creates a lot of troubles.

hi, its an interesting m2 SSD cooler, there's another cooler that has fan named ORICO Heatsink M.2 NGFF M.2 NVME SSD Aluminium - M2HS Series - M2HS8-FAN-SV, the design is kinda simmilar, would like see you review it cus its cheaper but the design looks simmilar.

[onetoomany]

If you want to change the speed of the 3 pin fan, connect it to 5 or 7 volts instead of the fan header.
Or, use the low noise adapter on the heat sink fan.

[teddym]

That was definitely used.. You could see the residue where the factory seal had initially been and then removed.

[MATTKBAN]

I’d love to see the Ineo Rocket heatsink. Just a cool design but I can’t imagine it being a better performer than this.
The Jeyi Q150 copper heatsink is another interesting one with all that bulky copper on it.

[hostasgrasses]

Hi!, I've been enjoying your videos, just found you. I am wondering why the intake for the power supply is facing incase the case instead of drawing cooler air from the base of the case? Is this on purpose? Thanks!

[concernedcitizen]

Greetings, Gill! So, that Ineo cooler is spec'd as having a 30mm fan, as you no doubt came to realize. However, not only is there a similar, although perhaps better, cooler on Amazon with a similar design labeled as "NewHail 12V M.2 2280 SSD Heatsink with 40mm PWM Cooling Fan" with not two but THREE copper heat pipes, but Noctua does make an A4x10 fan (as opposed to the A4x20 that you bought) that looks like it'd fit right into the NewHail cooler. Even better is that Noctua does make an A4x10 with a PWM connection, so best to be careful to get that one rather than the VC 3-pin version.

Would be interesting to see the stock cooling from that cooler as well as the effect of replacing the stock fan with an A4x10 PWM. It'd turn a $30 cooler into a $45 cooler, but it might be worth it (although I doubt it'd work on an expansion card; probably only the motherboard).

As an aside, now that I think of it, would a PWM fan really be necessary or effective on a cooler like that? Most motherboards tie PWM settings to CPU, chipset, or system-wide temperatures rather than HDD or SSD temps. Perhaps a VC fan would be better and more consistent on an SSD cooler?

That's a huge heatsink for M2 SSD. LOL Looks like a car cylinder . But either way, great results.
