    Installation Notes: Take Your Time, The Thermal Tape Can Be Tricky

    Unfortunately, my camera was giving me some trouble during the installation phase and didn’t save a block of photos from my pretty uneventful installation, but I did take notes. EKWB includes two different thicknesses of thermal tape with their M.2 NVMe Heatsinks, so that users can ensure the heatsink is making proper contact with the various components of the M.2 SSD. For example, on the 960 Evo from Samsung, I found that you need to use a .5mm thick piece on the back side of the drive, which EKWB instructs. However, the top side of the drive where the memory sits needs a piece of .5mm tape, while a 1mm thick piece should be used on the controller area towards the connector to ensure proper contact. EKWB doesn’t include this information in their instructions, despite the 960 Evo being one of the most popular NVMe drives on the market.

    I through threw out my EK-M.2 NVMe Heatsink because it kept the card to cool.
    NVMe drives run longer when warm, Cold is not good for the Chips.

    Yeah I think so that pad help keep cool as my running at 35c at idle so when full load it will increase to 60c ish! Though no need The Thermal Tape really. Just make sure PC Case good cooling fans in and out. That will help!

    Not worth the cost. Temperatures are the same with or without.
    Yes it looks nice and may provide some protection for the Drive but not worth the cost.
    Also not recommended for use on V-NAND
