If it was for ram I’d sorta get it as DDR5 runs hot and is hard to stabilise, but for an SSD, really???

I'll be testing this next month, but I don't expect it to outperform NewHail's NH1 copper heatpipe heatsink by any significant delta.

We're gonna need PCI-e 6 SSDs to truly test this AIO.

Do NVME SSD's throttle from heat? I know in reviews I've read there seems to be a certain GB limit on the advertised speed and then the SSD drop in speed. This is from heat I assume?

The controllers can thermal throttle from sustained activity if not enough cooling capacity or thermal sink available. Most of them are just ARM CPUs at the end of the day.

However, things like this AIO nonsense is just that. No consumer product will ever be used for such sustained loads to require something like this. Those who do have far better cooling options to choose from and they will cool more than just a single drive.

M.2 needs to go away it was made to not need a cooler, Good U.3 Drives are about $100 a TB and i hope they keep getting cheaper.

Hi,

Any idea as to where to buy the SSD Cooler?
