be quiet!MC1 Pro M.2 SSD Cooler | Heatsync with Heat Pipe | for Single and Double Sided 2280 modules | BZ003

This thing is amazing! I just built a new PC, and the secondary nvme drive was behind the motherboard with no heatsink. Did a bit of testing and my temps were around 50C idle and 85C under load (crystal diskmark). After applying this heatsink it dropped nearly 35C, with idle temps of 36C and a max of 51C under load! I was expecting an improvement, but this far exceeded my expectations!Love the build quality too, has a heatsink and everything is made of metal. The install process is super easy, just peal the thermal pad covers, put in your drive, attached four screws and you're good to go! It does cool double sided nvme's and it fit in the back part of my nr200p max without issue. Note, the heatsink is a bit tall, so I don't expect this fitting in a laptop or ps5.

I installed this with a WD Black 1TB M.2 SSD in a Playstation 5. It fits perfectly, and you can leave the metal slot cover off entirely (the original cover for the PS5's SSD slot). It's unnecessary and actually cools another 5 degrees cooler without the slot cover! 😎Installation was a snap, with the Pro cooler having both a hefty top heatsink with copper tube core, and an aluminum backplate. The backplate and hestsink both have thermally conductive pads preinstalled, all you need to do is remove the protective paper cover from each pad.The backplate is secured to the heatsink using 4 included screws and an included micro screwdriver.Whole process takes just 5 minutes!

Great Heat Sink. Even fits my Dell Micro PC.

Had a m.2 drive in my computer that was throwing warning messages about it getting too warm in use and this resolved the issue and looks great doing it. Have been a fan of BeQuiet's products for some time and this is no different. Top tier build quality, easy installation, and does it's job. It even comes with a small screwdriver in the kit so no tools are needed other than what's needed to open the pc case.Will warn that the four screws that hold the two halves together are tiny and easy to drop so be careful.

Sits snugly under my graphics card - and I mean SNUGLY. Buyers beware that this cooler does have some thickness due to the heat pipes and may not fit all applications - the MC1 version doesn't have the pipes and is quite a bit shorter.Keeps the drive (970 EVO Plus) around 5 to 10c cooler but would likely be better with more airflow - situated as it is practically under my GPU airflow is limited. Has enough mass to where "normal" use won't cause any thermal issues, but if I were to do a lot of 500GB writes to the drive I'd feel better with more airflow around it - it does a fine job for what it is - but it IS a passive heatsink with limited airflow. It's in the WORST spot on my board and it's doing as well as can be expected - it's quality, but not able to violate thermal dynamics.Packaged very well, included a magnetized screwdriver. None of the 4 screws ever got "tight" - maybe by design (didn't look at the TINY screws to check). Used a little blue locktite on the screws just in case - likely not needed but better to be sure.DO NOT remove the "sticker" on your NVME unless you know FOR FACT that it is just paper. Removing it may void your warranty and, if it's a Samsung, that "sticker" is actually a heat spreader itself. Also - on a Samsung - if removed, yes, bubye warranty. Testing also confirms that, at least with Samsung, performance is better with it than without it. So again, only remove if you KNOW it's just paper - my understanding is that's pretty rare on quality drives.So, tl;dr - it works. Everything you need and made well. If you're in a situation where the heatsink will have some airflow along the fins I'm confident it will work well.

Fantastic. Beefy cooler! no issues, works very well!

Opened the box and looked at the screwdriver, grabbed my own tools and installed it. I don't know what this tool is supposed to be - maybe a defective screwdriver, maybe some form of torture implement - but it's not capable of installing screws.Outside of this hiccup the heat sink installed great and appears to be working fine. Clean, simple, and effective. Just bring your own tools.

This item, depending on the application, will not be seen, really works to lower temperatures and was a very cost effective solution in mitigating temperatures. Can’t beat it!
