NAS, please do a thermal test of the SN850 with heatsink. The drive has amazing performance but runs hotter than other drives according to reviews. Would be great to see thermal results of the drive running in the PS5
It would be nice to know, how other bigger heatsink WITHOUT COVER perform. Like the Archgon HS-1110. This is one with Fins and also a bit massive like the sabrent. I will use the Archgon heatsink with the 2tb Corsair MP600PRO. Thanks again for your top videos and Tests! OT: I also did a Thermalpads-upgrade (14W/mk) to the PS5. The different is really huge! Cheers
To be fair with ya I think the larger Sabrent made no difference, I think the major difference is that with the Sabrent the hatch was removed so allowed heat to escape easily reducing the oven type effect that comes from having the hatch on and keeping all that heat in and it was still only 2 degrees on average lower than a compact sync, and sony say to always make sure the hatch is in place, whether that's for keeping dust out or not I'm not sure but, for just a 2 degree difference I think I'll use a compact sync and reinstall the hatch.
For those wondering, Sabrent Heatsink does fit inside of the digital version PS5 but won't allow the PS5 shell to go back on. If you want this to work out you'll need to own the disc version. I have the Sabrent SSD and heatsink but sadly can't put my PS5 shell back on because I own the digital version, and yes I was ok with not using the SSD cover since I own a dust blower that I use to clean out my PC. Finally I do own 2 extra slimmer heatsinks I bought way before So I'm good for now unless I end up with a disc version in the future.
Many thanks for this informative contribution! I wonder whether or not two-sided M.2 SSDs are getting even hotter when compared to one-sided ones. In addition, I would love to learn, whether the ELUTENG heatsink can also be used for two-sided SSDs such as the firecuda 530 2/4TB - and then still fits into the PS5.
I just bought a 1tb SSD with heatsink because of your video's, I got the Corsair MP600 LPX M.2 For my new PS5, Thanks for awesome Breakdown and deeper understanding on why their needed. salute from the UK🔥
Excellent information. Used your videos to make a decision on my SSD. I purchased the Samsung 980 and the heatsink arrives today. I'll be installing this evening. I'm sure future models of the PS5 will have a built in heatsheild for expandable storage but installation seems relatively simple at this point.
good review. i will say my ssd with the yateng heatsink is great. my ps5 when i feel it, doesn't feel hot just very warm. and thats on one side only. so the heat sink is doing its job because only the bottom of the system is warm.
Hello. Thank you for your pointer. I agree with all your point and i will add that i am saddened that we are so lax with reliability. I hear constantly "not a real world use." Well, i bought a thunderbolt enclosure and put a firecuda 530 4tb to do backup of my computer. Long story short, it doesn't like me writing 1.5tb in one go. It overheat and disconnect but i guess i shouldn't mind since my use is not a "real world use". What annoy me about the whole ordeal is how little knowledge there is that those ssd actually need good cooling for sustained operation and that those "aluminium enclosure for better heat dissipation" are just not up to the task. I ordered one with a far chunkier heatsink in hope that resolve the problem.
how about eluteng heatsink vs aorus 7000s vs wd sn850 heatsink ,which better cooler, this is my most concern, i dont care about speed which almost all ssd performance are the same good.
It would’ve been nice if you tested the no heat sink and the one with the smaller heat sink with out the lids to see the difference with lid and no lid.
that would have been very useful... if the temps didn't reach 55 degrees without the lid, I would totally go for a drive without a heatsink to save some money, or go for a bigger drive if it's not much more expensive.
These things are rated to run up to 100 degrees before throttling, not ideal obviously but anything under 60 will be fine, it’s just console folk not understanding pc components
You should test the thermals for the entire PS5 with the sabrent with the metal cover off and the other heat sink with the cover on. This will determine if it's truly worth getting the bigger sabrent. I'm sure someone is now creating a slightly taller metal cover to compensate for a larger heat sinks. I wish I knew how to design it actually lol
@momo yea I got the big Sabrent heatsink like he did it works fine open I haven't had any issues I've been having long sessions too. I got some thermal tape I was going to MacGyver a cover over the heatsink but I was afraid it would cause more harm than it would fix. But the more research I do on the PS5 the less that cover seems relevant.
I'm glad to see that the difference between the 2 heatsinks is only about 2°C. Also after watching a few of your videos, I've noticed you've got a Uni teacher style of tone when you talk.
Great video. Digitalfoundry has done test, how it impacts in games with and without heatsink, and the difference is minimal. Don't get me wrong, get a heatsink it's 10$, but it's not catastrophic, unless you live in a very warm environment.
Not sure ill ever get SSD, just interested in the testing, temp comparisons. Having said that, i wished you tested the small heatsink with no cover aswell.
I was hoping you would show the temperature of the drives while playing games which is the actual use case. Transfers are temporary high loads which in the grand scheme of things won’t really affect the drives much.
0:56 What? This video Is Like all that someone that want to upgrade his ps5 would want , explained perfectly in every detail and even tested , What would you want more?
How about adding a 1.5mm thermal pad between the ssd heatsink and the oem ssd bay cover so it would have direct contact? Would it dissipate heat better and have better thermals?
How did the large heat sink effect the other parts of the systems cooling as blocks a part of the intake? Thanks for the real world testing, installed the Western black 2 TB and large Sabrent hs today!
The intake for the PS5 is the fans opening. The system airflow will coming from all directions as the vents, 360 to the fans opening. I use my PS5 without plates as i not like the looks.

There are some larger heatsinks with fans built onto them. These fans are powered by a cable attached to a pc motherboard - you could get a compatible cable to USB and have it powered by the consoles front USB 2. This I want to try and will get aftermarket faceplate to cut a hole into instead of the original ones ;p
I gotta feeling the newer PS5 revision[s], will allow thicker/taller heatsinks compared to launch models, making the ease of finding suitable heatsinks better.
And that Linus guy tells people you can remove the heatsink if you buy a SSD with a heatsink that's too big... I would definitely recommend keeping the heatsink on and not placing the metal plate back or replace the heatsink if the white side panel doesn't fit back on, you can get heatsinks for SSDs dirt cheap...
Please could tell me ( if someone tested or know ) if ADATA GAMIX S70 could be mounted perfect in PS5 ( bluray disc version ) ? Sabrent version you have aready tested is bigger in height ... and I dont't want to throw money to buy something will not fit. I will use the SSD without metal cover but with plastic cover on the top...
SSD nand work fine even at even 90c (normal temp range is listed as up to 70c from most manufacturers) so this just goes to show you don't actually need a heatsink in my opinion. ( I have a heatsink but I always thought it wasn't really needed and its just Sony trying to cover their behinds from people in really hot box installs of their ps5s) also most times the ps5 is just doing short read bursts and will never get this got in normal operation unless you are an idiot and put your ps5 In a drawer or small cupboard/media furniture lol. Then I think you would have bigger issues anyway with the GPU/CPU throttling because it's too hot.

I use a Samsung 980 pro without a heat sink and without the ssd cover on and mines been going strong for months, I’m in the process of renovating a house so I don’t have an extra $20. I’m not saying you should do it just that it’s possible to do without for a period of time if need be Eventually I’ll get one when my house is done
I'm glad I went with the sabrent 4 plus with the included heatsink. Even though it doesn't allow for the plate to be covered. Is it me or does the ssds allow for me detail and more response?
This is what I did too. I’m having a heck of a time getting the screw in though as the one with heat sync is too short and the one in the PS5 doesn’t seem to get a good grab. What did you do?
@@PhoenixWebTV so I had to move the ssd down slightly in the heatsink to where the back end of the ssd was sticking out further than usual (or you'd like), meaning that the groove for the screw won't overlap perfectly. Place that was in the 80 slot under the ssd. Once the ssd has been pushed back as far as possible you'll have just enough room to screw it. I got the white included heatsink. Seemed to be differnt in size (bigger) than the black one. I have both. But I'm using the 2tb. And it works flawlessly. Load times and motion is very smooth. Haven't been able to do extensive gaming for heat comparison I'm hopeful it'll hold up, especially with the ssd cover having to be off.
@@emmanuelguerrero3071 that may be it to your eyes. But for me instantly noticed detail as well as loading times. Those bigger storage ssds particularly 2tb or higher will do the system justice.
@@jonathanb3886 Thanks. I managed to get the screw in (a bit of an angle but secure). Everything A-OK so far. I'm not too concerned about the cover not being on. Everything in a PC is open - I don't see a difference.
Hi Rob, I installed the Sabrent 2280 Rocket Heatsink into my PS5 a few years ago and it’s been working great since. Do you know if it fits in the PS5 Slim/Pro?
Could you test a SN850 with the included heatsink vs a SN850 with the eluteng heatsink?? Heard the integrated heatsink is not very good and with a good custom heatsink the SN850 is 5 degrees cooler.
I got the same ssd and I thought I was getting a heatsink come with it. I thought it wouldn't hurt to have it in there for day while I wait for the heatsink. My ssd is currently cooking and im about to take it out the oven .
I worry about the fan getting dust more than the nvme slot with no moving parts. That and it’s also going to be vertical if you have your PS5 standing. There are options to keep dust at bay like a PS5 dust cover.
Shouldn´t the thermal probe be attached to the controller instead of the NAND as this is creating the most heat and would be the force to make the drive throttle?
Very good question! Two reasons really (technically x3 if you include fear/hesitation). First was because I was fantastically reluctant (ie scared) to thread the temperature node under the heatsink+pad and onto the controller, as the m.2 lid would close and heavily squeeze the cable. The 2nd reason was because even when the lid closed (and I tried to thread the cable through a dip in the m.2 bay, it created an opened of around 2-3mm to the bay, which might screw with the PS5 airflow (again, this was still early doors on my testing and I was being a tad safe). So, I decided that NAND temp was better than no temp and ordered thinner cabling for the temperature sensor. I'm pleased to confirm that it arrived and works/fits like a charm! Been making new temp tests and tomorrow mid-day should be when my much more controller and PS5 airflow targeted temp testing will go live. Hope you enjoy it and thanks for keeping me on the straight and narrow!
Question: does the sabrent heatsink would fit on a digital ps5 version? I noticed on your video that the room left by the disk reader would probably not be the same on digital.
I never thought I’d be so captivated by every nvme SSD related video this dude’s channel drops.
Don't know why I'm so captivated by the possible differences in temperature caused by type of heatsink used... I must have this knowledge apparently.

Big time Kudos to this man. This is what I've been wanting to see too! Conclusion, get a heatsink people!
same
Thank you for the insightful test. The thermal difference between the slim and cheap heatsink against the no heatsink is very huge
A interesting test would be to check how much of a difference the ssd cover would make to heat
The Sabrent version in this test has no cover on the ssd section. It’s too big for the cover to fit on.
It would be nice to know, how other bigger heatsink WITHOUT COVER perform. Like the Archgon HS-1110. This is one with Fins and also a bit massive like the sabrent.

@@rubberman2006 th-cam.com/video/aCjqtN8YExk/w-d-xo.html here you go
Seems that the compact heatsink is the best. Cheaper, compatible with the metal cover, and barely has any noticeable difference than the big heatsink.
To me it is one of the most important and interesting topics right now! Thx for making this video! Cheers from Sweden

Great test. Would have loved if you measured the impact on the overall system temperature for the three scenarios.
This is some GNSteve/GamersNexus level video content happening right here. You are killing it with these PS5 videos.

I got the same ssd and I thought I was getting a heatsink come with it. I thought it wouldn't hurt to have it in there for day while I wait for the heatsink. My ssd is currently cooking and im about to take it out the oven .
I still think that cover is for dust issues. The last thing you want is a dust buildup inside where that m.2 is.
I worry about the fan getting dust more than the nvme slot with no moving parts. That and it’s also going to be vertical if you have your PS5 standing. There are options to keep dust at bay like a PS5 dust cover.
Thanks for your video, could you please tell me what do you think about Thermalright M.2 Heatsink Heat Aluminum M.2 because I buy it ?
Shouldn´t the thermal probe be attached to the controller instead of the NAND as this is creating the most heat and would be the force to make the drive throttle?
Very good question! Two reasons really (technically x3 if you include fear/hesitation). First was because I was fantastically reluctant (ie scared) to thread the temperature node under the heatsink+pad and onto the controller, as the m.2 lid would close and heavily squeeze the cable. The 2nd reason was because even when the lid closed (and I tried to thread the cable through a dip in the m.2 bay, it created an opened of around 2-3mm to the bay, which might screw with the PS5 airflow (again, this was still early doors on my testing and I was being a tad safe). So, I decided that NAND temp was better than no temp and ordered thinner cabling for the temperature sensor. I'm pleased to confirm that it arrived and works/fits like a charm! Been making new temp tests and tomorrow mid-day should be when my much more controller and PS5 airflow targeted temp testing will go live. Hope you enjoy it and thanks for keeping me on the straight and narrow!
Question: does the sabrent heatsink would fit on a digital ps5 version? I noticed on your video that the room left by the disk reader would probably not be the same on digital.
Yes
