It might not have "real" heatpipes, but the Ineo M12 is one of the most effective SSD heatsinks on the market.

I've tested it, if any of y'all would like to see the results: https://www.boringtextreviews.com/2...-ineos-ice-cold-m12-nvme-ssd-heatsink-review/

forgive my previous quote, i reread the review. some parts of the review, especially the conclusion is confusing, so i partially blame that for my mistake, although it is my bad for not full reading the article.

Also while I blame poor chinese to english translation and exaggerated marketing, the graphene+copper "heatsinks" do work for a specific target market, notebooks up to gen 4 ssds with their limited space. While it does not prevent thermal throttling, it does allow the ssd to run faster for longer compared to without. I have a few of these in various laptops and I can confirm they do their job just fine.

Note that these coolers came out before gen 5 ssds therefore not being able to cool a gen 5 ssd is understandable.

sketchy graphene? When did he say that?

I watched his video and he doesnt say sketchy graphene he says its impossible to tell if its graphene, graphite, or w/e with normal microscopes and he will have a future vid using an electron microscope on one.

only thing he said was its carbon just he can't say exactly what form of carbon(due to limitations above)

While it's not actually a heat pipe the performance on the M12 was pretty good and I think as far as the tall SSD coolers are concerned it looks good.

deepcool and thermalright coolers are everywhere on ali express i pay with pay pal and never had an issue but by default there is bound to be rubbish products there to
