JEYI Q150 M.2 HeatSink, Cooper Fins with Aluminum Frame Passive Heat Sinks - Finscold Q150-1.7mm / 0.68"

I started out getting the Q80 heatsink to use in the M2_2 spot, under the graphics card on the ASUS TUF B560-plus-WIFI board I used to build a media computer for streaming to the main TV. The Samsung 980 non-pro drive would hit 70C drive using the performance benchmark. The Q80 dropped the temps 20C+ to the high 40s (46-48C) under load.I used the Q150 heatsink to replace the stock ASUS-TUF-B560M-Plus heatsink they supply for the m2_1 position and it brought down temps 10-12C from the flat aluminum plate part. The stock ASUS heatsink was reducing temps from the 70C range with no heatsink to about 60C under load. I used the performance benchmark in Samsung magician to provide a repeatable and comparable load. The Q150 brought the temps down to the high 40's (46-48C) under the same load, the same effect as the Q80.They both enclose the whole M.2 drive evenly from front to back with the back plate, where the stock heatsink tends to bow the drive in the middle from the pressure applied by the heatsink and thermal pad that ASUS provides. Yes, ASUS provides extra rubber spacer pads to support the drive, but with this Q80 and Q150 design that is not needed. The Q150 design allowed me to lightly clamp the M.2 drive in the two halves to promote great contact before fixing the two halves with the included screws. The Q150 is too tall to fit under the graphics card in the M2_2 space. I used it in the m2_1 space. I did need to trim the PCIe latch a little so the heatsink did not have pressure on it from the latch. The stock ASUS heatsink is cut away to fit the latch with needing to trim it. Keep this in mind if you want to use this heatsink in the m2_1 space on this mATX board.The Q80 did fit into the M2_2 space ... with almost no room to spare. A sheet of paper width is still available between the shroud on the EVGA GeForce GT 1030 (active heatsink). I am not sure if there is enough space for any other graphics card heatsink. It BARLY fits with this ASUS board and this EVGA graphics card. The Q80 would also fit in the m2_1 spot but would still need the PCIe latch trimmed. Both heatsinks leave room the ASUS Q-Latch, but you do need to make sure you have the drive on the right location on the heatsink back. Take your time to get this part right and installation will be easy. The Samsung drive has a little circle punched out of the PCB near the connector that I used as a guide to line it up.The packaging is top notch for both the Q80 and the Q150, preventing any damage in transit. Amazon shipped mine in one of those plastic bubble wrap pouch bags, but the heatsinks were in perfect shape. (I was not so lucky with some cheaper flat plate/rubber band style heatsinks that were shipped in only a small zip lock-you guessed it they went back – late, damaged, and delayed the build) They (JEYI) provide an orange rubber pad for the bottom and a full cover thermal pad for the top of the m.2 drive, but they also supply a set of pre-cut individual thermal pads that could be applied to each chip on the m.2 drive if you needed that thermal configuration instead. Yes, both heatsinks also come with a cool, magnetized mini-phillips screwdriver, one extra drive cage machine screw and some extra M.2 hold down screws. All-in-all a really well thought out package. Make sure you check amazon listing for pictures of the assembly order, they do provide a 3d barcode on a card in the box, for a link to their support page but all you really need is the picture on the amazon site.The Q150 and the Q80 are both superb heatsinks, are well built, and exquisitely engineered, but best of all either one dropped the temps by at least 20C for the Samsung 980 drives (pro in the PCIe 4.0 M2_1 spot and non-pro in the PCIe 3.0 M2_2 spot). M.2 Drives need a heatsink. The flat aluminum plate style should be used at a minimum, but this design is optimal. Buy with confidence! I hope this review helps ... I know I had a lot of questions ...

I took screenshots of both HWInfo + CrystalDisk prior to installing, so I know these insane numbers are accurate. I'm also writing this review on the PC I installed this Jeyi Q150, so agan; I'm looking right at HWInfo + Crystal disk.Prior to installing this heat sink, my SSD was idling at ~55-60C.Under load, it would get up to 65C or highter.The "Drive Temp 2" in HWInfo (ASIC Controller) MINIMUM was 92C, max. 100C. Ouch.As soon as I installed this Jeyi Q150 - and I couldn't believe my eyes - my SSD was idling at ***33C***, and under moderate load, climbed to 39.Get this...the SSD Controller (Temp2 in HWInfo) dropped to ***52-57C***!!!!!That is a 50% reduction in temperature!!!!!To say I'm completely thrilled would be an understatement.This little heat sink looks cool because of the exposed copper, comes with TONS of thermal pads in 3 different thicknesses - because my SSD was single-sided, I used the thickest on the bottom, the medium on top of the actual chips, and it fit PERFECTLY.It's nice & compact; obviously depending on your tower & mobo (this is an older Dell OptiPlex) size & space is a huge consideration, but this little heat sink is extremely compact & fits in my case with room to spare.Again; with a 20++ immediate reduction in SSD temp, and a ***50 DEGREE REDUCTION*** in the controller temp, I'm absolutely thrilled!!!!!Combine the fact that they give you a tiny, magnetized screwdriver, 4 screws to secure the top & bottom together, AND they give you TWO spare screws; one for the heat sink, and another to secure your SSD to the MoBo (6 screws total); this Jeyi Q150 heat sink is absolutely brilliant!Because of size & space challenge, I ordered 3 completely different heat sinks (this one +2) in case one didn't fit in one of my PC's (I've got 3 to upgrade) so depending how much the other different heat sinks reduce temp & fit, I might return them for more of this one!!!Thrilled, over the moon with this Jeyi Q150 heat sink.Love it, Thank You!

This NVME M.2 heatsink is designed extremely well, and includes a few thoughtful items other do not. First, the heatsink is copper, which conducts heat away from the drive in the most efficient manner. Other tall-fin designs are stamped steel, and not nearly as effective. Second it comes with a few additional screws, if you happen to be one of those motherboard owners that discovers you don't have a proper M.2 screw to local down your drive. Finally, it comes with several sets of silicone pads in varying thicknesses. For my application, the headroom (height) of the mounting space is not limited, but I installed the thinnest pads because that offers the greatest heat transfer. BUT, there is one place on the drive where there is an indent, so I used a slightly thicker pad to compensate. (The pads you receive are square segments, not one long piece. This offers greater customization in application.) Overall this is a smart purchase. You won't be disappointed. Buy with confidence. ~SARG

Looking at it seems like it would perform better than it does. To be fair, I have it on a 2TB 970 Evo Plus known for running warm and it does keep things down to 65ish (C) under heavy load. It just seemed like with that many fins the heat disappation would have been better.

this cooler does ok but unfortunately another cooler I had before this one was able to do better for 8$ the thermal pads are kind of thick but the cooler does work with double sided memory. This cooler did work much better with a fan blowing directly on it. But I’m not sure I can recommend it over another cooler that can do better for 8$. A little disappointed but it does work ok. At least it looks pretty.
