News TeamGroup Goes All in on Active SSD Cooling With a Trio of Towers

[Admin]

TeamGroup has prepared three new active cooled heatsinks for M.2 SSDs and it will showcase them at Computex next week.

That ssd with these things will be a nightmare Ugly prone to faliure.

The cylindrical design is the best IMO, although I'm not sure why they think it needs to stick up so high.

The tower-like ones are pointless since the tiny diameter fan is also impossibly thin.

You know what would actually be the best for a PCIe5.0 SSD cooler!?!

Yeah no thank you. I am plenty happy with my PCIe 4.0 drive that max out the 4x bus without needing cooling on par with a nuclear reactor. My CPU and GPU are creating enough heat and those heat-sinks are unsightly.

I would love these as long as they have THEIR OWN temperature sensor to turn on the fan only when needed. If their fan runs all the time then they are useless as they make way too much noise. I have a similar one and had to just set the fan really low in the bios at a fixed speed. To make it really worthwhile, it needs to run only when needed.

Right on!! Totally agree

Right on!! Totally agree

Always kind to me with the upvotes. Thanks for that and back at you!

Also love the handle. King is my favorite and the Gunslinger series is his magnum opus.

This is getting ridiculous! If this trend continues, every PC part will need it's own cooler

Maybe the fans will soon need their own fans or coolers!!.

Waiting for a Steampunk design

All overkill though, even Optane 110mm 905p, only topped out at 10W. This is more of a stylistic choice, just like water cooling Ram sticks or Mobo chipsets. Purely for aesthetics, although I do like the routing ability some of the WC motherboards bring, just could never personally justify the cost.

 

[TechieTwo]

These are a waste of money just like the RGB gimmick.

Yeah they want to drive us to dielectric liquid submerged rigs like the big server farms. Its getting nutz how much heat these new rigs put out.

This is one of the many reasons M.2 instead of U.2 was a huge mistake. While these are likely overkill PCIe 5.0 SSDs definitely need a higher level of cooling than anything prior. Personally I'd just like to have the SSD heat source away from CPU/GPU, but I'll be sticking with PCIe 4.0 drives for the foreseeable future anyways.

I do want a PCIe 5.0 SSD but I don't know if I have the room for a cooler. My M.2 drive slot on my ASUS Prime X670-p Wifi is sandwiched between my GPU and my CPU cooler. Seems like a heatsink would do nothing but absorb heat coming off the GPU backplate.

Thank Sai! King is a legend and the Dark Tower series is his bible!

Brilliant! Spewed up some coffee when reading it.

laughs in 12GB/s. the most significant OS, Server and Gaming performance improvement will be PCIe 5.0 nVME drives. the first batch of them will still be slow at 12GB/s. There will soon be drives capable of hitting 30GB/s, fully outperforming DDR4's bandwidth. Thats Gigabyte per second, not gigabit. RAM speed SSDs are here. PCIe 5 nvme is already near twice as fast as DDR3.

dont worry, vertical m.2 drives are coming. meaning they will slot in vertically with a steel bracket, instead of flush against the motherboard.
