Teamgroup has introduced its new T-Power Siren Collection all-in-one liquid cooler. However, this isn’t simply one other CPU cooler. It might probably cool an M.2 SSD too. Don’t roll your eyes. M.2 cooling is about to turn into extra necessary than ever.
The Siren cooler is a broadly suitable AIO cooler with LGA 1700 and AM5 socket assist, so it’s all set to chill Intel’s 13th Gen and AMD’s Zen 4 CPUs. The top unit consists of ARGB lighting as you’d anticipate. The cooler incorporates a white theme and whereas appears are within the eye of the beholder, I believe it appears improbable.
The press launch despatched out by Teamgroup is a bit mild on element and we’ve got confirmed that the unit will not be able to launch. Up to now we’ve got just one image of the unit. It reveals what seems to be a reservoir. It’s too massive to be an M.2 water block and there’s no signal of the radiator or followers, so it will likely be fascinating to see the ultimate design as soon as it is prepared on the market.
NVMe SSD cooling is one thing that doesn’t get sufficient consideration. The most recent PCIe 4.0 drives can get extremely popular and may throttle below a heavy load. PCIe 5.0 drives are prone to get even hotter. Many motherboards embrace heatsinks however generally these work in reverse by absorbing warmth, and the trigger is a sizzling GPU.
Image this. You’ve acquired a 14GB/s PCIe 5.0 drive sitting proper subsequent to a 500W RTX 40 sequence GPU. Whereas gaming, that GPU goes to dump an enormous quantity of warmth and a few of it will likely be absorbed by the heatsink of your poor NVMe SSD.
It’s not just like the precise cooling necessities of M.2 drives are very excessive in comparison with a CPU or GPU, and Teamgroup’s thought to include a secondary cooling system might be a genius transfer.
In fact, we do not know how the Siren will carry out, however with the correct engineering and design, energetic M.2 cooling actually may assist to maintain your drive performing optimally, and add longevity too.
We’ve reached out to Teamgroup and requested for a pattern when it’s prepared. Our evaluation will embrace information on throttling and efficiency and the outcomes could also be enlightening.
