Cooling
Attention! The MSI SPATIUM M570 Pro 2TB has an adhesive seal that can only be removed with loss. If you want to keep your warranty, you should leave the sticker on and not unscrew your gaming rig. There is no need to do a pad mod, the two pads are both fine.
The heatsink is made of light metal with pressed-in and ground DHT heatpipes (Direct Heat Touch). This is perfectly acceptable
The heatsink is made of simple aluminum with a natural oxide coating. Nickel has been omitted here, why would it be needed?
The three pressed-in heatpipes are made of nickel-plated copper, the nickel layer is approx. 1.5 µm thick, which is perfectly adequate.
Interestingly, the cooling fins are nickel-plated, with a layer thickness of between 3.5 and 4 µm, which is slightly thicker than the heatpipes.
Not much needs to be said about the pads used. They are ultra-soft and therefore practical and stick quite strongly on one side. The mixture of viscous silicone, corundum and zinc oxide flakes suggests a rather mid-priced pad, but it is perfectly adequate for this purpose. I just hope that it doesn’t oil out (“bleed”) over time.
Temperature behavior and power consumption
The measured temperatures in idle and light operation (e.g. while gaming or working in the office) in explicit, passive mode without an extra fan nearby are quite ok. It is important to note that the controller always gets hotter than the NAND, especially under real load. This is less likely to occur when gaming. Either you use workstation applications or you clone an SSD. Then it gets a little warmer, especially when used as a target medium (2 TB write). The temperatures in the case (Fractal Meshify) are even lower than in the open setup, because the fans in the case still produce sufficient airflow even when idle without CPU load. In the open setup, after more than an hour of continuous load, it sometimes went up to around 65 °C, but you have to provoke that first. This time we logged with HWInfo64.
The temperatures naturally result from the power consumption, which remains moderate in idle and only rises to up to 9 watts under medium load and to just over 11 watts under full load. Peaks during cloning can go up to just under 12.5 watts, but this is more of an exception.
