Guru3D NVMe Thermal Test - the influence of a heatsink
We conducted two Thermal Paste roundups, the first in 2019 and the second in 2021. Why not try something else and investigate the temperature influence of other PC components outside the CPU/GPU? Perhaps it would be worthwhile to test the radiator's slash heatsink impact on NVMe drive performance.

May we presume the tested heatsinks didn't compromise the labels on either of the two SSDs? (It certainly doesn't appear so.)
I know some of these manufacturers get a bit cranky if a drive is returned and the label isn't in pristine, factory-fresh condition.

Should have tested this bad boy.
Yes that's a m.2 NVMe heatsink...

Decision time! Should I move my NVMe to the lower slot and go from 3.0 4x to 2x (half the speed on CDM from 3600 to 1800), or move my 6600 XT to a lower slot and potentially have it going through the chipset PCI-E lanes? Turns out the second PCI-E slot is also CPU-connected.
Currently I have both the GPU and NVMe on top slots, next to my CPU on air cooling and PBO. It's quite a hot zone in that area :p
On another note, anyone remember the X clamp and heatsinks from Xbox 360s? I believe one of those would be able to be a NVMe heatsink real easy.

A bit curious, would you recommend using stock M2 heatsink plate that comes with some mobos?
And another curious note, most if not nearly all SSDs have their label sticker on top side. To install the heatsink on top should/can we remove those label without voiding warranty?

Nice review. It's good to see (by comparison) that my mainboard's M.2 heatsinks seem to be doing their cooling job quite well.
I do wonder how a good M.2 SSD Waterblock would do, however. Perhaps it would be something to add to the review down the line.
Depends on the case and the GPU cooler, though, so the GPU has enough air to breathe and doesn't blow hot air at the mainboard/M.2 SSD like some blow through GPU cooler designs do.
