About SABRENT NVMe M.2 SSD to PCIe X16/X8/X4 Card
Overall Feedback:
90% positive
84% liked the sleek design, but 16% found it unattractive
I love the copper and black design of the heatsinks. It looks really cool and not noticeable when the RGB lighting is going insane. However, when I change to a static color, I can gaze into the glass and admire them.
The cooler's aesthetics are not my thing, but it's not easily visible within my rig anyway.
Sabrent charges a premium for a lazy design intended to appeal to the eye of the uninformed.
85% praised for its solid build quality
The build quality of the heatsink is excellent. It is made of a pcb with heatsink cover and backplate and is a good fit when assembled.
I chose to buy this product because of its high build quality and good quality materials.
I chose Sabrent (SB-HTSS) because of its quality materials for heat transfer and its unique 'tubular' design, which is typically only found in CPU fans.
83% found it compatible with multiple platforms, but 17% encountered compatibility issues
I highly recommend this adapter.
I couldn't use the heatsink design due to two problems.
83% praised for its excellent cooling performance, while 17% noticed marginal improvements
With the SABRENT heatsink, I noticed that the temperature stayed between 46-50 degrees C, compared to 68-71 degrees C without the heatsink and fan on high. This shows that the heatsink effectively cools the device.
The Sabrent heatsink was not substantially better than my other heatsinks when measuring my NVMe SMART temperatures during torturous benchmarking. However, when I mounted my Sabrent Rocket NVMe 4.0 SSD, the heatsink started to make more sense. During my 30 minute benchmark, the peak temperatures reached were 8C less than with a Rivo heatsink, indicating that the Sabrent heatsink is effective in cooling my SSD.
After installing the heatsinks, I experienced a 15 degree drop in temperature and have consistently maintained temperatures below 40 degrees, indicating no more thermal throttling.
The cooling performance of the heatsink is excellent as it has made the temperature of my SSD 10-20 degrees cooler than before.

88% appreciated the easy installation process
The installation was super easy and it looks great on my build. It also gives me peace of mind that the M.2 memory will run cooler.
