ElecGear PS5 NVMe SSD Heatsink, EL-P5C Heat Pipe + Solid Aluminum Cooler for PlayStation 5 Internal PCIe M.2 NVMe 4.0 Gen4 Memory, Re-Designed SSD Mounting Post Kit - (Not for Slim/Pro)

This heatsink by nElecGear is fantastic. It is easily the best heatsink available for the PS5 Expanded SSD port. It typically runs 6-8°C cooler than the Sabrent (at system start, 8-16° C cooler in normal operation) and 16-20°C cooler than an SSD with a low rise heatsink and 28-25°C cooler than a heat spreader plate that some SSDs come with. This comes with 2 different thermal pads and is more than enough to cover an entire 2280 M.2 NVME SSD and it also comes with one sided sticky pad to go under the SSD to offer mid card support to prevent swaying or hear warping. Construction: Many state in comments that they removed the copper heat pipe or the heat pipe is aluminum or silver. I can state that this is not correct. THE HEAT PIPE IS COPPER. The heat pipe is copper with a nickel coating which helps the transfer of heat. Nickel looks silver or like aluminum foil... However, you can scratch the nickel off the end of the pipe to expose the copper. THE HEAT PIPE IS COPPER. The performance of the heatsink is well beyond any other heatsink on the market for the PS5. The cost I paid is $29.98 +tax. Value for the money is worth it considering that the SSD will never get above 30° C in the PS5. Are there cheaper solutions, sure.. Sabrent is $20, but it runs at startup 8° C hotter and can get up to 20° C hotter than the ElecGear during operation. Could the ElecGear P5 SSD be cheaper, well they could come down to like $25-$26, but given the cost of copper, the design of the slotted cooling that takes full advantage of the PS5 fan, the high quality thermal pads, the extra SSD mounting screw for SSDs that have different thickness boards, keeping the SSD cooler than any other heatsink on the market at this time, to me it is well worth the $30 I paid for it. I'm using this in combination with the blade version of Adata XPG Gammix S70 2TB 2280 NVME M.2 Gen4x4 PCIe 4.0 SSD. I know a heat spreader comes with the blade, but it doesn't handle the heat as well as skipping the heat spreader and using a real heatsink, which is why I got this ElecGear P5 heatsink for the PS5. Can't recommend it enough.

I had an extra 1TB 980 Pro laying around from a recent PC build that I decided to drop into my brand new PS5 instead of leaving it collecting dust in my parts drawer. I saw this HeatSink featured on the Spawn Wave channel on YouTube and it looked substantial enough to handle the heat a 980 Pro can put out when running full tilt, so I decided to pick this up. Installation was relatively easy, although the clear washers included were difficult to keep on the end of the tiny lockdown screw. In fact, I lost the larger one into the innards of my PS5 when it slipped through that only slot in the bay it could have slipped through. Murphy's Law in action! Didn't matter since the SSD was secured just fine without that extra clear plastic washer. After installation was completed, and I swapped in my Black Side Plates, I setup my PS5 to run all of my PS5 games off my 980 Pro as opposed to the internal SSD because I had read several reviews stating that performance was slightly faster with the 980 Pro for loading game data than the PS5's internal drive. After playing through "Ratchet and Clank: A Rift Apart" twice using the Performance RT setting, I am thoroughly pleased with the drive's performance, with not a hint of throttling due to heat issues. This HeatSink may cost a little more than others, but the additional surface area and fin design can't hurt when trying to keep a high performance M.2 NVMe like a 980 Pro running cool. Highly Recommend!

works perfect have not had a problem. fits perfectly

I am very happy with the cooler. It was very easy to install and fit seamlessly. It also came with thermal paste and a screwdriver. The ssd’s heat up more than you would expect and this cooler does a great job of keeping the temps down. Definitely worth the investment.

I have only used it for maybe 20 hours so far so good. I just replaced a another drive using the hefty cooler it came with but it still failed within hours - yes I properly installed it. I bought a name brand replacement, didn't use the included cooler, and installed this with it. I was weary about having no heat sync on the bottom of a double-sided nvme. So far I like this design as it opens up the solid expansion door and channels fan air past the cooler. I have no doubts this will perform for long time. Only reason 4 stars is only having 20 test hours on it so far.

Alright, so I’ve actually had my SSD inside the PS5 for a couple days without any heat sink before I ordered this one. To be honest, I didn’t notice any issue with heat on the SSD without one. But with me moving big games like Call of Duty into it I decided I didn’t want to risk possibly overheating and frying the SSD. So I ended up buying this heatsink because it just looked like it’d do the job well. After installing it and playing a few games on the SSD for a few hours, I can open the panel and feel that the heatsink is still pretty cool. So it’s definitely either doing it’s job, or it’s just overkill. But one potential issue I can see is that it’s a bit tall. When you install it and put the PS5 panel on, you can look through the front vents and see that this heatsink actually blocks a substantial amount of the vent space. Meaning the console itself would be getting less airflow. It hasn’t really become an issue yet, but it’s just something I noticed. Other than that, it’s a good heatsink. And to clarify, I’m using the WD_Black SN770 M.2 SSD. So yes it fits just fine on it.

Best one for ps5 especially you want to have your own separate heatsink installation. Heatsink has little bit of weight on it. Good match with Samsung 990 Pro and easy to install into ps5. The heatsink curvature matches with ps5 curve near fan. Make usre you read the installation first. Overall , my installation took less than 10 miinutes. I wasn't sure if I should use provided spacer underneath SSD or the one came with ps5. either way is fine. Heatsink fits perfectly.

Love these. Overkill cooling in my NVMe drive? YES, please! I've used it more than once.

Good packaging. Hefty heatsink with instructions and apparently good quality material. Snug fit. Total time to install 10 -15 mins. Most important con (vis-a-vis Indians) is that it is a Chinese company product. Another con I would say is that the brand does not presently have an official video showing the installation process. Another , is it appears to be available at an expensive price point in India.

Satte dit denna när jag uppgradera HD på min Playstation 5

Excellent, ElecGear fait comme à son habitude de très bon produits adaptés et très efficace. Mais, comparé à certaines photos venant de d'autres acheteurs, je n'ai pas reçu la pièce avec la barre de cuivre au milieu. La mienne étant plutôt argenté type aluminium. Peut-être donc qu'elle est moins efficace pour gérer le refroidissement du SSD qui sera installé ? , je ne sais pas vraiment car le cuivre absorbe plus de chaleur alors que l'aluminium la dissipe mieux. Donc je ne suis pas non plus un expert mais le fait qu'elle soit en aluminium me va parfaitement pour ma part car le but recherché est d'évacuer au plus vite la chaleur émise par le SSD rajouté vers le ventilateur de la PS5. Ceci dit, je ne suis pas du tout mécontent de mon achat. L'installation est simple mais prenez le temps de le faire correctement quand vous apposez les pastilles et choisissez bien un SSD compatible avec la PS5. Pour ma part, j'ai mis le WD SNV850 qui est une pure merveille. Vous avez un descriptif détaillé sur le net pour poser correctement le dissipateur avec les pastilles. Le rendu final est beau malgré qu'il soit caché par le cache de la console, il n'en reste pas moins ultra efficace grâce à la largeur du dissipateur qui conduit la chaleur jusqu'au ventilateur de la PS5. ElecGear support de console avec ventilation ElecGear support de ventilation arrière ElecGear dissipateur SSD Avec ces 3 produits, la PS5 fonctionne pendant de longues heures avec une excellente circulation, dissipation et donc refroidissement de la console. Je suis ravi d'avoir pu trouvé le must pour ma part pour ma PS5. Je recommande donc vivement l'achat de ces trois produits pour être tranquille lors de vos sessions de jeux.

Its a very nice item and suits the OG PS5 beautifully. Its just sad that its time to shine is over now, what with the move to PS5 Slims and PS5 Pros, etc. When I get a PS5 Pro I'll move my SSD out of the old girl, so I won't need this anymore. But I'll keep it as a momento of the wonderful cooling this little metal thing provided. Thanks for the good times, heatsink.

Ok
