Hi

What are better or cooler replacements for the factory delivered nvme heatsinks for F8 ssd plus ?

How max thickness should a replacement be?

Many thanks.

We apologize that we cannot recommend a specific model directly, but most standard heatsinks on the market are compatible, as long as the thickness does not exceed 7mm.

Many thanks for your answer. But I have the idea that the orginal are 6mm with thermal ipad of 0.5mm, or not? So pplease specify specifically whether the 3mm measurement refers to the total height or the bottom surface—or simply measure the distance to the case cover with the original heatsink installed. If the original 6mm heatsink fits, another one with a width of ~6–8mm will also fit? Many thanks.

Generally, thermal pads are approximately 0.5 mm thick, while heatsinks are approximately 6 mm thick. Therefore, for the F8 SSD Plus, as long as the combined thickness of the thermal pad and heatsink does not exceed 7 mm, they can generally be installed in the device without affecting SSD installation or normal operation.
