Used this, looks great and lowered the temps. It never goes above 45 even under prolonged cpu benchmarking.

I replaced the thermal pads with thermal grizzly minus 8. I used a 1mm and .5mm half and half sized on the 980. This is because of you look at the ssd from an angle, the controller and other modules on it are actually not all at the same height, meaning using just one sized pad for the whole thing won't make good contact and compression.
Great video on this issue and how to address it, should you feel so inclined.

Obviously this is all a bit overkill, but I enjoy this kind of tinkering and it was a lot of fun to see the temps improve so much. Enjoy!

Ty for the quick reply. I will check rw benches. I do a little bit of gaming, media editing and db migration.

Will look into it, thanks. Hopefully my corsair water block will fit, it was only a few bucks more when I got it. If you like tinkering, might wanna take a look at custom water cooling, if you haven't.

Fair warning on the arctic cooler… it's a thick chunky boy and I couldn't fit it in my corsair 5000x running on the top, without some minor modifications.
