AlphaCool HDX M.2 SSD M01 Passive Heat Sink Cooler CrystalDiskMark Live Test

AlphaCool HDX M.2 SSD M01 passive cooler on a 512GB Samsung 960 Pro M.2 SSD NVME using AlphaCool 17W/mk thermal pads on both sides. These series of live tests are test are done on a P870KM1-G laptop with fans set to "Automatic" on Clevo dashboard and U3+ x3 120mm Vardar FF5 fan mod (laptop cooler) running on full/max.
I thought it would be best to put U3+ x3 Vardar FF5 fan mod (laptop cooler) on full, then the laptop fan will not change to different speeds depending if the CPU or GPU's gets hot. The CPU and GPU fans are not always in sync with each other, so this will make it a unfair test IMHO. Having the U3+ x3 Vardar FF5 fan mod (laptop cooler) on full will eliminate the system CPU and GPU laptop fans from coming on.
These are NOT stock thermal pads on the AlphaCool HDX M.2 SSD M01 passive cooler. I have replaced them with AlphaCool 17W/mk thermal pads.
