sorry if this sounds kinda weird, but how do you keep heat sinks from moving around inside of a computer? like, if you need to move a computer from one place to another, they will definitely slip off the chips, wouldn't they?
Not weird at all!
These heat sinks are not simply resting on top of the chips. Some come with an adhesive tape backing that holds them in place. Others come with a small tube of heat-transfer epoxy. It's not as good as the high-performance thermal epoxies you find for modern CPUs, but it does come with the added benefit of holding the heat sink to the chip with enough force that you won't worry about it falling off.
Hello, April! I got another parcel (Lazada) was arrived, last Sunday. 📦🏠🙂
"What's inside?" said my paper dolls. Well, let's not waste our time because I'm about to open & review it in one sitting post! So, let's go! 😁📦✂️

My NVMe Needs - Part 2: Thermalright M.2 2280 Pro Review (w/ my paper dolls) [Apr 11th, 2023]
So, here's Part 2 of “My NVMe Needs", with Thermalright M.2 2280 Pro review (featuring my paper dolls). 😁
If you haven't seen my Part 1, then please [CLICK ME!].
BTW: I changed the title of this month's topic (see my "Part 1") I mean, its not just my NVMe memory stick, but also this one, too.
So, without further ado, let's get started!

• Let's start with the packaging, very promising w/ the gorgeous outline image of the actual item inside & some information specs about it. 🙂📦 And if paper dolls think that looks like a mini box of chocolate mint bites, well you are wrong. lol 😅 Nonetheless, let's open!
8th & 9th Image(s): ↑
• The packaging contains the main item wrapped around by a flexible Styrofoam & a mini instruction/specs about the item, plus a warranty card on the other side. Uh yeah, did I mention they're written in Chinese (including that mini box because I saw a sticker though)? They were all over it, given that this item was "Made in Taiwan". I have no complaints about that, including "Made in China". After all, my paper dolls love munching on Peking Duck & delicious Chǎofàn rice. Mmmmm... 🍗🍚🤤
Okay, enough with the food related stuff. Let's keep going with our next images.
10th to 16th Image(s): ↑
• Let's focus on the main item. The designers for this particular item had an interesting look of a razor-sharp shaped arrow w/ five blade fins w/ one pin end & that tube of the end that looks like snapped from a metal bar. (I think) It's a decent eye-catching, don't you think, you two? "Yeah, I think so", my paper dolls said.
• Uh yeah, and they're all made in aluminum with w/ Nickel Plated Copper heat pipe (which said so in the mini box). And the latter can solve the heat dissipation problem from the chip processor, unlike other metal material components. They already exist in CPU air coolers & installed graphics cards of tomorrow, nowadays, the NVMe heat sinks have joined the bandwagon of PC cooler components. And that's the reason why I need a heat sink for my first owned NVMe memory drive.
• [15th Image to the right] By the way, I made tiny damage from using a screwdriver of my own, and I shouldn't unscrew four screw nuts before taking more pictures. But, doesn't matter, it won't affect the cooldown feature. (Right?)🤷
SIDE NOTE: I made a confusing chronological order for my snapshots. Hehe 📷📲😅
17th & 18th Image(s): ↑
• Now, you may wonder, why are these blue plastic adhesive tapes attached to each piece. Well, the company installed thermal pads on each piece of the heat sink, now that's a double safe to prevent overheat. 🙂❄️🌡️ This is where I install the NVMe stick onto the heat sink by peeling off two blue adhesives before I place & seal it with four screws to make my NVMe stick secure.
• You know, kind a like two pieces of bread with slices of cheese & put a delicious deli-cooked ham or pure juicy ground beef to make a perfect grilled cheese sandwich special (or something). (I made a terminology of sorts.) Yum-yum! 🥪🤤 My paper dolls certainly love my idea! 😋 *Ughh* 😫 Yeah, yeah, I made another food-related stuff. I should stop because I'm reviewing my NVMe heat sink. lol 😅
Nonetheless, I'll show you what I mean in my next part. Onto to the final photos.
19th to 24th Image(s): ↑
• Speaking of which, here's what is gonna happened for my next upcoming part, where I combine two items into one accelerating NVMe function machine! And of course, I have two software(s) I need to run; one of which will migrate my entire data, including the OS that I'm currently running (Windows 10 Pro - 64bit). And the other software will be checking the stats on my first owned NVMe memory stick (from Samsung). 🖥️➡️🖥️😃
• This should be exciting, right you two? 😁 Hey, don't worry, We'll have a celebratory treat once where my topic, okay? 😉 (Privacy celebration, am I add. 🤫)
Overall & Asking Price:
• This NVMe heat sink from Thermalright is worth my wallet and saving my first owned NVMe memory stick (from Samsung) from an endurance overheat. 🙂👍 Sure, some say that equipping the heat sink could not affect the NVMe's performance 🤔, but to be honest, we would love to install it, as we did to our CPU chip. Without the heat sink equip, it'll soon be heating up from running all applications, and then the computer dies (instantly). Then suddenly, you need a brand new expensive computer. You get the picture, I know.
• Anyways, I bought it from this online Lazada PH store 🛒🌐🇵🇭 [CLICK ME! #1] for ₱ 550 💵 when I picked the "Pro" variant [CLICK ME! #2]. However, with free shipping & cashback points, I get an exact ₱ 500💵! 😁 And thank goodness, I still got my dough after purchasing my most expensive thing from March (of that year). Big savings! 😁 There's also available in RGB light (w/ 4-pin wire attached) & standard variants, and so, I went with the Pro version of the 2280 heat sink. 🙂 I was gonna buy the one with the built-in small fan from a different online store (whether in Lazada or Shopee), but I'm insufficient my earn funds.
Anyways, that's all for now! I'll see in the next part. 😊

When it comes to Linux, we do not get official software support from brands like NZXT, Corsair, MSI, ASUS, etc., to manage hardware components on PC.
While open-source drivers/tools are available to make things work, it is still a work…
I love all the Battletech mechs that are kind of ugly and Contraption looking. I love that the Starslayer has good weapons, heat management, armor, and mobility for a Medium Mech but it looks like this
I just know some MechWarrior is pissed that they don't get the regal look of the Shadow Hawk or the rugged look of the Wolverine or Centurion. But too bad, you're going in the Contraption
@just-jetfire said this meme fits Skyfire and I couldn't help myself I had to draw my silly nerd cause this fits him too well. Especially cause he's totally a radio show/podcaster guy who shares his scientific findings from around the galaxy to all 15 of his followers. x3
