We have not had a chance to test any pcie 4 0 ssds yet but our assumption is that a meaty.
Does an ssd need a cooling mat.
Hi i recently bought a cooling pad for my dell xps 13 9370.
Heat doesn t kill hard drives.
There are circumstances where a cooling pad is just the thing you need and in those.
We subjected the drive to three continuous runs of crystal disk mark 6 per cooling method each lasting roughly five minutes.
The drive was installed in the same high bandwidth m 2 slot right above the gpu to maintain consistency between runs.
Built with four 12mm fans that blast air at up to 1200 rpm the tree new bee is designed for one purpose to help keep laptops cool and prevent crashes from overheating.
So who does need a cooling pad.
That lets us see how environment affects system components.
All that said you ll need a platform that supports pcie 4 0 the right ssd and adequate cooling.
Here s what does free cooled datacenters use ambient outside air instead of air conditioning.
Tree new bee s laptop cooling pad is a superb choice that works with ones sized from 15 6 to 17 inches.
We used the samsung pm981 nvme ssd in our thermal torture tests.
