This was super easy to install but not 100% sure if its touching the ssd to cool down, no way of testing, build quality feels great however.
You have to remove a cover on the bottom of it to stick onto the ssd (When its already installed so hard to tell if its touching it)
This is a perfect heatsink that fits perfectly with your PS5 SSD to keep it run cool and better. It’ll not only improve the longevity of your drive, but also prevent throttling due to high heat. Would recommend!
So if you are looking to upgrade your PS5’s storage by adding an SSD you will probably know it is recommended that you use an SSD with a heat spreader/heatsink. You have two options buy one with one fitted or buy one without and buy a separate heatsink and fit it yourself. One of the issues you may have is getting one that will fit into the PS5’s SSD bay. Fortunately Hynix have you covered. Not only is this a heatsink for your SSD but it also replaces the drive cover. Making it pretty easy to install.
In the box you have the heatsink with a thermal pad fitted and some documentation. The heat sink is really nicely made from a rather large chunk of alloy. It’s nicely finished but there aren’t really any fin stacks. I would describe this as more of a heat spreader. Fortunately there is quite a bit alloy and as it replaces the standard cover it sits nicely with the airflow of the case. The spreader is around 10mm deep with around 7mm of depth below the case. While this is recommended for use with Hynix’s platinum P41series of M.2’s it can be used with other SSD’s. However I would check the specs to ensure that it will fit as due to the design it isn’t easy to see if contact is being made with the thermal pad. Now to address a misconception I’ve seen elsewhere. This will not improve the cooling of your PS5. If your system is overheating then it probably isn’t down to your M.2 drive. Unfortunately I have no way of actually testing the thermals as the PS5 doesn’t report that data.
A high quality heatsink that is a neat solution. However I do have a couple of reservations. This is only for the CFI-1200 variant and the full price is a little on the high side at 21.99. However there is currently a 50% off voucher making it more tempting.
This is definitely the nicest M.2 heat sink I’ve used, everything about it just screams quality, it’s almost a shame that it’s hidden away inside of the PS5’s casing!
It fits in exactly as described with no issues at all, and while there’s no way to monitor the temperature through the PS5, the surface area is large enough that it should make a solid difference imo.
Build quality is great, being a solid chunk of machined metal, there’s not really anything to go wrong with it! Installation is an absolute breeze as well thankfully, definitely worth grabbing if you’re planning on getting an M.2 drive for your PS5, since those things are known to get toasty in there!

This heatsink works okay to lower the temperature of the PS5 SSD fitted. There is a lot of debate around the use of heatsinks on M.2 drives. I think that the consensus is to fit one if you have one but don’t stress too much if you don’t have one fitted, but do your research.
This heatsink provides a larger surface area for the SSD to dissipate heat when it heats up under load. It is very well made indeed and is easy to fit. It could also be used with other M.2 drives provided the screw holes line up. I have not tried this though. Using the fingertip test the SSD did feel a bit cooler due to the heatsink dissipating more heat.
