Been going thru a bunch of your videos today. I just got a Crucial P5 Plus 2TB and the MHQJRH, witch looks line a clone of the Eluteng. I can't anticipate any issues, but I had to note the testing while so detailed also is not great because you cant A/B test something unless you only change one variable. In testing the different heatsinks you are also using different SSD's and that just invalidates so much of the data. I would love to see a new video of "ultimate showdown" where this is kept the same.

@AnImperfectSoul 2 года назад

I have the Warship pro on my 2tb S70 Blade. Did a thermal test of it in my PC under a giant GPU that gave it little to no passive airflow and the GPU itself outputting heat. Drive did stellar, idle at 36c and didn't go past 55c during stress test. Gaming doesn't hit the drives like stress tests and hundreds of GB file transfers back to back. Sits perfect in the PS5 bay and hits ~6200mb/s with the PS5 benchmark

This actually influenced my decision from purchasing a Sabrent cover heatsink to purchasing the Elecgear heatsink. At first I thought it was a gimmick that wouldn't function but cant argue with thermal data collected at the controller chip.

@HECKAKYH-ADEKBATEH Год назад

Both you and the channel owner do not understand heatsink effect on ssd! While ssd controller works better when cooled, the storage cells operate slower when cold and degrade faster when hot. That means - the cells and the controller should never be connected together in one sink and the chips should have either no cooler or only small cooler on top of them.

@HiltonFen Год назад

@@HECKAKYH-ADEKBATEH What would your best recommendation be? I heard it can bit tricky to install the Elecgear.

@HECKAKYH-ADEKBATEH Год назад

@@HiltonFen if possible cool only the controller, it will wind down on overheat. If your chips get really hot (some multimeters have temperature probe, or measure it directly after use with laser) use heatpipe to both controller and nand connected to the large sink outside, so t doesnt exceed 35 deg Celcius. Worst situation is small sink that covers both controller and chips.

Same, I have the 4TB Firecuda with the Elecgear.

@@ELEX0R I fully understand bro. Those 2TB and 4TB's are expensive and we don't want them breaking of course.

So let's say that underside is getting 5 or 10c degrees warmer, that heat will move towards the other side of the SSD and into the heatsink seeking equilibrium. To test this you can take an old double sided ram module (if you have that laying around of course) and put it against a shortly warmed iron. That heat from the iron will reach your hand trough that ram module.

@@dynamike549 thank you for the video. Before I bought the ElecGear I already believed that this heatsink will do the job fairly good for double sided NVMe‘s, but these facts and numbers will let me sleep better in future ^^ I understand your thermodynamic point. Frankly if you see this tiny and bad ventilated slot for the NVMe just with that one-fan-negative-pressure principle through those two little openings from Sony, it left you behind with some questions and it’ll let you start to crank the gearwheels in your head automatically, especially if you have such a heat producing m.2 only half covered 😄 But in the end it seems to work better then expected and that’s all I want 🍻

Can the Elecgear heatsink be used with the firecuda?

What about sabrent heatsink cover with sn850 but mine has the heatsink already but my sn850 is literally giving me " ps5 too hot but without it installed runs all day no error so what should i do because its the 2tb wd

Am I the only one amazed at how fast he took that ps5 plate off. It takes me at least a min to take it off.

@wbryalo 11 месяцев назад

wouldn't a warmer heatsink be better? meaning that more heat is actually being transferred out of the system...

@SF-wu2mp 2 года назад

So I want the firecuda 2tb but like how the elecgear sink kept temps down the most would it be wise to buy the none heatsink version and running the elecgear over the sebrent one? Or just stick to the factory firecuda heatsink?

Depends on the cost but I think the default heatsink for the firecuda works well

I got 4tb sn850x black. Cant find a cooler to fit into ps5. It is a dual sided packed ssd i got for 230 usd... i will upgrade to ps5 pro so many coolers are already not suitable for ps5 slim...

@isaiasvargas2515 2 года назад

I'm new here so sorry if this is a dumb question to ask, but will a heatsink help the overall temperature and performance of a PS5 even if it only has its original SSD? Or Heatsinks only work when you are adding another SSD to the console?

@momsspaghetti8093 2 года назад

You use a heatsink only when you are installing another SSD to the console. The PS5’s default SSD is already installed with the heatsink by Sony. So you only need to buy a third party heatsink only when you buy a third party SSD

@TheLegendofphantom Год назад

I don't think it would make enough of a difference to justify spending money on a sabrent or elecgear when you don't have any expanded storage installed in the m.2 slot of the PS5

@gyulamoldvan Год назад

What about the 2tb seagate ssd or wd black 2 tb ssd

@LeeJoRo 2 года назад

Im getting my ps5 (for Xmas). I won't be upgrading the SSD for a while, but when I do, could I use a firecuda with elecgear heatsink (or sabrent heatsink)

@MEDzZ3RO 2 года назад

I’ve used the Sabrent H/S with a Firecuda 530 1tb. Have no complaints yet . As per another video on this channel he demonstrates how the sabrent heatsink does touch heatsinkless SSDs to offer reliable cooling.

@DanielandYuka 2 года назад

So if I have a Seagate Firecuda 530 4TB with stock Heatsink I shouldn’t need to bother removing it and buying the Elecgear heatsink to replace it?

@phillarc8219 2 года назад

That’s what I’ve got and I bought the elecgear to change it! but don’t think I will bother now tbh unless they go higher than 4tb

@dynamike549 2 года назад

I have the 4TB model with the Elecgear and i'm very happy with it, but I wouldn't bother swapping those heatsinks. Your totally fine.

@Puff_Chady 2 года назад

@McGuinness89 Год назад

I avoided getting a 980 Pro with it's own heatsink simply for the fact that it would severely limit you to what you can use it in. It's not going to fit inside a laptop or external adapter for example. The ElecGear or Sabrent heatsink cover paired with the 980 Pro (without a built-on heatsink) seemed like the way to go to future-proof the M.2 for when the PS5 is pretty much obsolete. Unless the PS6 comes with the same oversized slot without it's own heatsink, I can repurpose the 980 Pro

Would it be overkill to install a Firecuda with it's heatsink as well as a Sabrent heatsink? I live in South Florida. My PS5 is in an area close to my house thermostat and the heat does causes the AC to run so I need to keep heat to a minimum. All comments welcomed.

@Sneakyboson Год назад

That wouldn't really work. You want the sabrent heatsink to make direct contact with the ssd chips via thermal pads... Not with another heatsink. Way more inefficient. Not to mention that I don't think it would fit.

@runnerpsu Год назад

@@Sneakyboson Thanks! Shortly after posting my comment, I purchased and installed a Firecuda. It has performed flawlessly.

@ultimablackmage 2 года назад

I ended up paying the extra AU$250 for the Firecuda 530 2TB over the Aorus 7000s 2TB as I looked at the longer life & thermals being better & I had the extra money at the time. Glad I avoided the WD Black though, yikes that runs hot!

@@Disk-Etiquette did you have to put on any of the included extra stuff in the elecgear to raise the ssd up more? If not does it make enough contact to it? Like can you feel the thermal pad touching it? I'm planning on getting the elecgear but am worried about it not making the best contact
