In a world where the most popular NVMe SSD heatsinks are super short in order to boast PS5 compatibility, it’s a breath of fresh air to see one that is unabashedly about pure performance no matter the (z-height) cost. This model measures a mighty 74mm (nearly three inches!) high, making it the largest I’ve ever seen.

Surprisingly, you might actually want a heatsink this big if you have a PCIe 5.0 SSD. These drives are capable of pushing past PCIe 4.0 alternatives, especially in terms of raw sequential reads and writes, but they produce a ton of heat while doing so - so performance can dip substantially over time.
It’s a clever design then, and well worth considering if extended benchmarking your SSD (eg using CrystalDiskMark) reveals that performance drops over time.
