Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.
Customers like the quality, fit, appearance and ease of installation of the heat sink. For example, they mention it works great in PS5 and fits perfectly under their video card. They appreciate the heatpipe is awesome at wicking away heat and that it lowers temperatures considerably.
Customers like the thermal control of the heat sink. They say that the heatpipe is awesome at wicking away heat, and the cooling performance is amazing. Some say that it comes with its own thermal pads and screwdriver.

Opened the box and looked at the screwdriver, grabbed my own tools and installed it. I don't know what this tool is supposed to be - maybe a defective screwdriver, maybe some form of torture implement - but it's not capable of installing screws.Outside of this hiccup the heat sink installed great and appears to be working fine. Clean, simple, and effective. Just bring your own tools.
If your 2280 NVME SSD is getting a bit toasty, get one of these. It's made very well, easy to install, doesn't take up much room, and lowers temperatures considerably.
Try this before you try more drastic measures (such as adding a fan to cool things down).
Sits snugly under my graphics card - and I mean SNUGLY. Buyers beware that this cooler does have some thickness due to the heat pipes and may not fit all applications - the MC1 version doesn't have the pipes and is quite a bit shorter.
Keeps the drive (970 EVO Plus) around 5 to 10c cooler but would likely be better with more airflow - situated as it is practically under my GPU airflow is limited. Has enough mass to where "normal" use won't cause any thermal issues, but if I were to do a lot of 500GB writes to the drive I'd feel better with more airflow around it - it does a fine job for what it is - but it IS a passive heatsink with limited airflow. It's in the WORST spot on my board and it's doing as well as can be expected - it's quality, but not able to violate thermal dynamics.
Packaged very well, included a magnetized screwdriver. None of the 4 screws ever got "tight" - maybe by design (didn't look at the TINY screws to check). Used a little blue locktite on the screws just in case - likely not needed but better to be sure.
DO NOT remove the "sticker" on your NVME unless you know FOR FACT that it is just paper. Removing it may void your warranty and, if it's a Samsung, that "sticker" is actually a heat spreader itself. Also - on a Samsung - if removed, yes, bubye warranty. Testing also confirms that, at least with Samsung, performance is better with it than without it. So again, only remove if you KNOW it's just paper - my understanding is that's pretty rare on quality drives.
So, tl;dr - it works. Everything you need and made well. If you're in a situation where the heatsink will have some airflow along the fins I'm confident it will work well.
I installed this on my secondary NVME since my primary had a heatsink that was part of my motherboard. Before installing this heatsink, I would routinely see 10-15C deltas from the primary drive (with heatsink) to this drive (without heatsink). After installation, its dropped at least 10C off my idle temps, and roughly 10-15C off loaded temperatures. Now temps are right in line for both drives. If you want to prolong the life of your NVME, I highly suggest getting a heat sink.
The BeQuiet unit her was a breeze to install, and was happy it came with its own thermal pads and a screwdriver for installation.
100% would buy again, and I should have bought this sooner.
I have a TEAMGROUP MP33 256GB NVMe drive installed in a 2U server chassis as a boot drive for my home server/NAS. I recently installed a 3 bay 3.5" HDD hot-swap dock in the 2U case's 2x5.25 optical drive bay, and was curious about temps of the 3x3.5 HDDs I installed, so I downloaded HDDSentinel to check out the temps.
The 3.5" HDDs were all running at an acceptable ~30C, but the TEAMGROUP MP33 256GB NVMe drive was showing a frightening operating temp of 50C.
I purchased and installed this be quiet! MC1 M.2 SSD Cooler Heatsink, and the temps immediately dropped down to 40C, better but still not great. I reconfigured the BIO fan settings for the 2x80MM cooling fans at the front of the case to run at full speed, and temps dropped another 10C to an acceptable 30C.
The heatsink is well made and includes a tiny screwdriver to install it. The 10C drop in temperature is impressive. I docked the review one star for the price - TBH if I had known that the TEAMGROUP MP33 256GB NVMe was going to run so warm, I likely would have spent the additional money I shelled out to add the heatsink to get a better NVMe drive that perhaps includes its own heatsink or overall just runs cooler.
The heatsink has peel-and-stick thermal pads on both the top and bottom of the NVMe drive, so it is a "one use" item, meaning if you end up removing the heatsink, it likely won't stick too well to another NVMe drive - I saw some complaints about that in other reviews, unwarranted IMO. This is a well made and effective item.
I recently replaced my Corsair HX1500i with the be quiet! Dark Power Pro 1600W PSU, and liked it so much, when I needed a m.2 NVMe heat sink I specifically searched for one made by be quiet! Not disappointed at all! It seems to be an excellent company with top quality products.
Buena calidad y facil de instalar. Si tu tarjeta madre no tiene un disipadores de calro para tu m.2 incluido esto es un buen remplazo. Si tu tarjeta madre ya incluye disipadores de calor no vale la pena, es marginalmente mejor que los incluidos
Der be quiet! MC1 für M.2 SSDs bietet eine super Kühlleistung, die meine NVMe SSD um beeindruckende 10 Grad kühler gemacht hat.
Das Kühlmodul ist einfach zu installieren und passt perfekt auf meine M.2 SSD. Es besteht aus hochwertigem Material und sieht zudem noch sehr elegant aus. Die Kühlrippen leiten effektiv die Wärme ab, was die Lese- und Schreibgeschwindigkeiten maximiert und die Lebensdauer der SSD verlängert.
Seitdem ich den be quiet! MC1 verwendet habe, habe ich keine Probleme mehr mit Überhitzung oder thermischer Drosselung erlebt. Die SSD bleibt selbst unter hoher Last kühl und arbeitet zuverlässig.
Insgesamt bin ich sehr zufrieden mit diesem Kühlmodul. Es ist eine großartige Investition für jeden, der die Leistung seiner M.2 SSD maximieren und gleichzeitig ihre Temperatur senken möchte. Absolut empfehlenswert!
