WD Black SN850 - Without heatsink

samhain · 18 Jan 2021 at 13:45

I've taken delivery of the SN850 1TB drive and installed it into my Asus Tuf X570 and I'm getting the speeds advertised.

Will I be able to buy the heatsink separately or will there be a generic heatsink that I could use. I have 2 heatsinks and they are too long.

Thanks

Stewart

Cheers how do you find the clearance. My Asus Tuf X570 cpu slot is right next to the graphics card slot

No problems on my Asus x570 VIII Hero.
