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.

@HECKAKYH-ADEKBATEH Жыл бұрын
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.

@HECKAKYH-ADEKBATEH Жыл бұрын
@@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.

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

@@dynamike549 hey Bro, that’s cool :D The Firecuda is a hell of a beast for a NVMe. That’s the point why I’m not sure about the temperatures from the downside. The Firecuda is getting really hot under stress and without any heatsink from below I’m skeptical about the durability and performance. Maybe you can link the video. Thx in advance 🤘

@@ELEX0R I fully understand bro. Those 2TB and 4TB's are expensive and we don't want them breaking of course. The video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aM6bgad7v9upoqc.html But like I said, heat will always flow towards cold by law of thermal dynamics. 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 🍻

@isaiasvargas2515 2 жыл бұрын
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 жыл бұрын
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

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.

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.

I went from the Be Quiet MC1 to the Elecgear EL-P5C and combined it with the Gelid Solutions GP-Ultimate 15W/mk thermal pads. I would say it's worth it if you play long sessions and I do believe it will make a difference in the middle of the summer when ambient temperatures are higher. The Be Quiet MC1 is comparable to the Eluteng Nas uses in his video's.

The WD has always ran quite hot (try to find my Seagate Vs WD PC+PS5 Temp comparison video) as it was of the first SSD on the market to hit 7K at PCIe and since then, brands have achieved it (1+ years later and thanks to Phison) at a lower temp..m price of innovation I guess
