OK...ish, well they work - Geoffrey , 25 September 2024
A word of caution when using these!
If your board has m.2 slots directly next to each other you will not be able to fit 2 of these side by side. The screws sticking out on the side prevents that. I do however believe that there are NVME coolers out there that are thin enough. My guess is 23.5mm wide and they should fit. If your m.2 slots however are spaced then there is no issue.
Also if your NVME is double sided you will have a hard time pressing down for the screws to grab the thread. I did manage to use both thermal pads and due to the pressure the thermal pads started to squish out slightly at the ends.
Regarding temps, they are stable enough for the drive to not throttle. My Gigabyte Aorus 2TB Gen4 is a toasty drive. These heatsink coolers should be fine for any Gen4 but definitely not Gen5.
They are dirt cheap and that makes it worth it if you are on a budget.

Not worth it - Cobus, 17 September 2024
The item does not come with instructions, The website for this item doesn't have instructions for this item. After searching I found a video on YouTube, The temp on my drive only went down by 1 degree after installation. Definitely not worth it.
