We started hard and it’s time to accept it, the design of the PS5 is disastrous. Since its launch, it has had users on edge because of the temperatures reached by your SSD. Even manufacturers have stepped in to offer special M.2 SSDs for the SONY console with a low profile to help cool our SSD in that tiny, narrow space left by some SONY engineer to house our M.2. How to solve it? Well, there is a manufacturer that seems to have come up with a very simple and at the same time effective idea. We tell you the details of the Jeyi Eagle, an active heatsink for the M.2 SSD of the SONY PS5.
With a price of just €15 at home and sold through Asian stores and marketplaces such as Aliexpress, the JEYI Eagle is being a revolution among users who see how to lower the temperature of the console’s SSD by up to 24º according to the manufacturer itself. .
JEYI Eagle, an SSD heatsink for PS5, active?
There are currently many models of M.2 SSDs that meet the compatibility specifications for the Playstation 5, both in transfer speed and size, but one of the problems is that the fastest SSDs are (or were) designed to work in a laptop or a PC, where as a rule we usually have space and a predefined design to cool decently our SSD M.2.
When you see the SSD heatsink design for PS5 from JEYI EagleYou think why haven’t they done it before? And the truth is that it has a very curious preliminary design, transforming the typical passive heat sink that M.2 SSDs carry into an active one and all for just €15.
The JEYI Eagle with its design, offers a sink and at the same time a cover of the device. The dissipator itself protrudes from the -dwarf- cavity of the M.2 of the PS5, in turn replacing the disk cover of the SONY console and with a striated finish, it takes advantage of the air flow of the adjoining fan to thus return, in a certain way, active heat dissipation when the air passes through it, helping to lower temperature.
Low price, like its temperatures
According to the tests of some YouTubers like NasCompares who have had access to the heatsink, the truth is that the JEYI Eagle shows very good results across the entire working range. Both in games and in reading and writing, it keeps the SSD at more than comfortable temperatures, unlike other heatsinks on the market, the workload is clearly affected, since the JEYI leaves the 39º C of temperature the disk, while others leave it at 45º C.
JEYI Eagle heatsink is manufacturing in magnesium Y aluminum and has measurements of 155mm x 69mmIt comes in black and allows us to easily put the trim cover on our console.
Its disadvantage -as an inexpensive Asian product- seems to be that its packaging and finishes are poorly cared for, they usually come with burrs on the edges of the heatsink and the blister is totally bland, things that can be avoided if the results are these, since it does its job correctly, but for that price and that performance… It is unbeatable.
