## Overview

The ElecGear EL-P5C is a premium, patented heatsink designed exclusively for the original PS5 internal NVMe SSDs. Featuring a 5mm nickel-plated copper heat pipe combined with a solid aluminum fin array, it passively dissipates heat silently by optimizing the PS5’s internal airflow. The kit includes a re-designed mounting post with adjustable screws and washers for a secure fit, plus dual-thickness thermal pads for perfect heat transfer. Compatible with all standard NVMe M.2 SSD sizes and tested with high-performance drives like the Samsung 980 Pro, this heatsink keeps your SSD running cooler by up to 20°C compared to competitors, ensuring peak gaming performance without thermal throttling.

Review: Heatsink works great! - This heatsink by nElecGear is fantastic. It is easily the best heatsink available for the PS5 Expanded SSD port. It typically runs 6-8°C cooler than the Sabrent (at system start, 8-16° C cooler in normal operation) and 16-20°C cooler than an SSD with a low rise heatsink and 28-25°C cooler than a heat spreader plate that some SSDs come with. This comes with 2 different thermal pads and is more than enough to cover an entire 2280 M.2 NVME SSD and it also comes with one sided sticky pad to go under the SSD to offer mid card support to prevent swaying or hear warping. Construction: Many state in comments that they removed the copper heat pipe or the heat pipe is aluminum or silver. I can state that this is not correct. THE HEAT PIPE IS COPPER. The heat pipe is copper with a nickel coating which helps the transfer of heat. Nickel looks silver or like aluminum foil... However, you can scratch the nickel off the end of the pipe to expose the copper. THE HEAT PIPE IS COPPER. The performance of the heatsink is well beyond any other heatsink on the market for the PS5. The cost I paid is $29.98 +tax. Value for the money is worth it considering that the SSD will never get above 30° C in the PS5. Are there cheaper solutions, sure.. Sabrent is $20, but it runs at startup 8° C hotter and can get up to 20° C hotter than the ElecGear during operation. Could the ElecGear P5 SSD be cheaper, well they could come down to like $25-$26, but given the cost of copper, the design of the slotted cooling that takes full advantage of the PS5 fan, the high quality thermal pads, the extra SSD mounting screw for SSDs that have different thickness boards, keeping the SSD cooler than any other heatsink on the market at this time, to me it is well worth the $30 I paid for it. I'm using this in combination with the blade version of Adata XPG Gammix S70 2TB 2280 NVME M.2 Gen4x4 PCIe 4.0 SSD. I know a heat spreader comes with the blade, but it doesn't handle the heat as well as skipping the heat spreader and using a real heatsink, which is why I got this ElecGear P5 heatsink for the PS5. Can't recommend it enough.
Review: Works Great with my 1TB Samsung 980 Pro! - I had an extra 1TB 980 Pro laying around from a recent PC build that I decided to drop into my brand new PS5 instead of leaving it collecting dust in my parts drawer. I saw this HeatSink featured on the Spawn Wave channel on YouTube and it looked substantial enough to handle the heat a 980 Pro can put out when running full tilt, so I decided to pick this up. Installation was relatively easy, although the clear washers included were difficult to keep on the end of the tiny lockdown screw. In fact, I lost the larger one into the innards of my PS5 when it slipped through that only slot in the bay it could have slipped through. Murphy's Law in action! Didn't matter since the SSD was secured just fine without that extra clear plastic washer. After installation was completed, and I swapped in my Black Side Plates, I setup my PS5 to run all of my PS5 games off my 980 Pro as opposed to the internal SSD because I had read several reviews stating that performance was slightly faster with the 980 Pro for loading game data than the PS5's internal drive. After playing through "Ratchet and Clank: A Rift Apart" twice using the Performance RT setting, I am thoroughly pleased with the drive's performance, with not a hint of throttling due to heat issues. This HeatSink may cost a little more than others, but the additional surface area and fin design can't hurt when trying to keep a high performance M.2 NVMe like a 980 Pro running cool. Highly Recommend!

## Features

- [PS5 NVMe Heatsink] – Patented heat sink for ✅1st PlayStation 5 (modeled CFI-1xxx) internal NVMe SSD. (Not for ❌Slim or ❌Pro). It features a heat pipe and a huge solid aluminum heatsink. The high performance comes from the numerous cooling fins and the delicate utilization of air circulation sucked by PS5 main cooling fan. The streamlined profile is a snag fit with the middle frame of PS5 chassis. The heatsink is the ultimate cooling solution to the heat management of extreme Gen4 gaming SSD
- [Heat Pipe and Thermal Pads] – A 5mm copper heatpipe seamlessly embedded in the lower aluminum deck. The passive design with no cooling fan is aiming for being totally silent. The heat produced by the SSD will be absorbed by the heat pipe and effectively conducted to the extensive aluminum fins. Two pieces pre-divided thermal pads included for excellent heat connection. 1.0mm and 1.5mm thickness option adapts to any NVMe memory
- [Improved Mounting Post] – It seems the leading maker Sony does not belong to M.2 SSD industry. We don’t think that the stock screws mount M.2 SSD appropriately in the memory compartment. ElecGear did it better with a re-designed fixing structure for your gaming SSD. The modified guide post, standard M.2 screw and even a PVC washer to adjust the height of SSD are included in the box
- [Compatibility Note] – Works with first PS5 Ultra HD and Digital (✅CFI-1xxx models). Not for 2nd slim ❌CFI-2000 models. Compatible with any standard NVMe M.2 solid state drive. Fully tested with WD Black SN850, Samsung 980 Pro and Rocket NVMe 4.0. It supports 2230, 2242, 2260, 2280 form factor and also works with 22110 in the future. Please be noticed: The SSD maker’s thin heatsink should be removed before installing, for example, Corsair-Force MP600 and ADATA XPG
- [What’s in Package] – 1*ElecGear EL-P5C Heatsink, Re-designed Fixing Screw Kit, 1*Thermal Pad (EL-10, 1.0mm, 4.2W/m-k, Single-sided Blue), 10*Small Thermal Pads (EL-15X, 1.5mm, 3.6W/m-k, Pre-divided Grey) and Screwdriver
