Excellent Performance Regardless of the Cheap Price.System: Motherboard - Gigabyte B650M Aorus Elite AX Ice SSD - Crucial T705 1 TB PCI5 { ambient room temp 19°C }Previously used the standard Motherboard SSD Heat Spreader (flat metallic plate covering 2 adjacent M2 SSD Slots)With this Heatsink, Fan on medium (2400 RPM) it reduced idle temperatures by 20 °C (43 to 23)Even with the Fan OFF idle temps are reduced by 10 °C (43 to 33)--- SSD Max Temps ---Before: 80 °CAfter with Fan OFF: 60 °CAfter with Fan ON: 54 °C (40% Fan approx. 2400 RPM)As can be seen the heatsink performs very well even without fan assistance - as a result I've set the fan curve to start at above 60°C - so in theory should never kick in, so only in an heat emergency :)A heat envelope of 60 °C and below should guarantee no heat induced shortening of SSD lifespan plus also effectively guarantees the lifespan on the Heatsink fan as its pretty much not used.Specs on Box show 1500-4000 RPM +/- 10% , Max fan RPM @ 100% power was 5000 RPM and Min was 1450 @ 25% ( approx 40% needed to start fan though) -> noise output @ min was inaudible.At full speed, like most fans it sounds like a jet engine taking off ! Being small & 5K RPM its particularly high pitched.Lastly the LED Infinity Mirror works better than expected, was actually not going to bother plugging in the LED lead but the effect is OK enough -- I'm not big on LEDS and tend to turn them off.In PWM mode at 0% Power it will spin at 1450 RPM (though needs 40% to start spinning) -- As this heatsink works so well without the fan on, I'm using it in DC Mode so that at 0% its actually stationary at SSD idle (which is most of the time) with the fan coming on as necessary.

worked but wires are tough to tug away cleanly.

Honestly didnt see much of a difference in terms of temp performance, at least nothing outside a margin of error that could be attributed to the room temps at the time.For the aesthetic its not bad but I dont know that this is really doing much to help keep my drive cooler.You might get better results depending on your case type and overall setup so this might be something viable for your use case. For me it doesnt seem to be doing much. Build quality is fine but past that it just looks neat mostly.
