Detaching the cooling-finns of the Corsair Force MP600? (1TB)

[MultiGamerClub]

Seeing this is the cheapest Gen4 M2 for about 2000/2200NOK (240/270$) at price.. Just asking this before i eventually get a B550 and this as my main-bios/os boot-ssd.. Safe to dis-assemble/detatch the cooling finns on the m2?

 

Probably is, but better off asking.. It looks possible on the backside of it, but just asking here just in case the cooling of the motherboard isnt enough?

Did u ever get a definitive answer on that?

I recently bought 2 of these 1TB drives, took the heatsink off of one(difficult, but possible) & installed it in a newly purchased Acer A517-52-59SV.  BIOS sees it, but the windows 10 installation medium doesn't. ☹

As i buyed the MSI RTX 3080 SUPRIM X before anything else in my pc at this time.. (Outside of a A2000 1TB) no, i didnt get the MP600 yet.

But i think the heatsink from the motherboard covering it would suffice for a heatsink but not as effective being directly on it.

If you have a metal/something over it i would assume it will cool it enough..

 

But on a laptop.. I dont think/know if they have built in cooling for warmer m2's today, specially not more normal laptops as Acer's.

I think excessive heat that cant escape fast enough will slow down your performance on the laptop, your better off getting a more normal M.2 like A2000 or KC2500-series.

All be it, those are more budget variant so, anything without a heatsink on the m.2.

 

Gotta pay the graphics card out and i'll see what the B550-E comes for, then memory / cpu.
