Don't question me!
Buy it!
1) It is too tall to fit underneath my graphics card. It stops the GPU from sitting low enough in the PCIe slot to engage the PCIe clip.
2) It is too wide to use several of them next to each other. The screws on the side stick out just enough to foul the other M.2 slot space.
The Thermalright fits fine in the primary slot and the fourth m.2 slot furthest from the GPU. This is in Intel Z690 with Sapphire RX 6700 XT.
(just kidding)
first check the obvious stuff though, like have you made sure to boot from your new drive in the bios? in terms of boot priority
The WD drive approaches an uncomfortable 60°C in my nvme gen 4 slot.
I am not bothered about speed penalty, gen 3 nvme drives are fast enough for me.
additionally you shouldn't care about it running hot. NAND prefers to stay warm, it running cool will reduce longevity.
It'll thermal throttle around 85c, if you want to reduce that 60c though you can buy a heatsink for it. make sure you get one with screws though, not that terrible one which uses a plastic band (the band breaks i made this mistake already)
There have been better deals (like the ADATA S70 Blade for £90), but most are either OOS or the price has gone back up a bit. (edited)
