First up is the Asus Maximus Z690 Apex M.2 heatsink. It’s pretty bulky and free (let’s say, cause the motherboard is not from the cheap ones). 25 mm of height and 149 g is the proper size/weight. 

The following two are from be quiet! MC1 M.2 is the first one. It weighs just 17g and measures almost 6 mm in height. Overall it’s a pretty simple heatsink, reminding the typical motherboard type of radiator, especially from the cheaper models.

MC1 Pro M.2. The second is a bit bulkier, and it’s called be quiet! It’s over 50% higher than the non-Pro version and weighs almost double as much.
