Samsung 990 Pro heatsink removal.

Picked up a 990 Pro (with heatsink) the other day because I got a good deal on it, but it doesn't fit with the built in heatsink. I'm aware that a wise person would just return it and get a regular one instead, but like many on this site that just ain't who I am. Furthermore I'm aware that removing this heatsink will void my warranty, but if Samsung's reputation is anything to go by (I used quite a bit of their drives, and I still do!) this drive will go well past that period! This heatsink also has a little RGB LED on it, so I wouldn't be surprised if there's a little cable/connector on it...

How do I take off the heatsink from my Samsung 990?

Sometimes the risks outweigh the reward!

From the images Samsung offers looks like there is four screws which hold the heatsink package together besides the TIM material covering the chips. But to release the grip of the TIM you will need to spin the bottom plate and heatsink slightly along the surface which you can’t do here as the heatsink bottom plate has four fold over tabs that block it. To add to that prying will over stress the ball pads securing the chips to the PCB base.

So the bottom line here is the chance of success is very low and just like a raw egg broken in your hands offers no meal. Even if it was a good deal.

I'll find a way, I'd like to keep my PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot for 5.0 capable devices.

Turns out it wasn't as difficult as I had expected, had to unscrew 4 5-point screws, take off the warranty sticker, cautiously wiggle it around a bit (preferably with a spudger, or in my case a fingernail) and pull it out. As expected it's just a bare 990 Pro. As for the LED I was sorta worried about, turns out this is just a single light on the device itself!
