The limits a PS5 heatsink has to meet
| Dimension | Limit |
|---|---|
| Drive plus heatsink, total | Up to 11.25mm |
| Above the board | Up to 8.0mm |
| Below the board | Up to 2.45mm |
| Width | Up to 25mm |
From Sony's M.2 SSD requirements. A bare M.2 drive is about 2.2 to 3.5mm thick, which leaves roughly 7mm for a top heatsink and its pad.
Checks to make
Read the title carefully: ElecGear's range includes designs for the original PS5 bay cover and separate ones for later models.
Inclusion here rests on what each listing says about itself; we have not measured any of these coolers. Prices here run from £17.98 upward. Before you order, add the pad thickness to the heatsink's stated height and compare the total with the limit.
Where a listing states its height, the table shows it and sorts it into three bands. Up to 8.0mm, the space Sony permits above the board, is Fits PS5. Between 8.0mm and 11.25mm you are told to check the total height with your drive. Above 11.25mm, the limit for drive and cooler combined, it is Too tall. Of the 3 listed today, 0 fit, 0 need checking against your drive, 0 are too tall and 3 state no height. Chips and thermal pad sit inside the same 8.0mm, which is why a cooler stated at exactly 8.0mm deserves a second look at what the figure includes.

Frequently asked questions
How tall can a heatsink be in a PS5?
Drive and heatsink together can be up to 11.25mm thick, with no more than 8.0mm above the board. A heatsink bought on its own sits above the board, so 8.0mm is the figure it has to meet, chips and pad included.
Which heatsink here costs least today?
ElecGear EL-80P M.2 2280 SSD Heatsink at £17.98, with no height stated in its listing, as of 21 October 2026.
What goes between the SSD and the heatsink?
A thermal pad, which nearly every heatsink comes with. Do not substitute a thicker one, since that can push the assembly over the height limit.
Will a heatsink make my PS5 SSD faster?
No. It stops the drive slowing down when it gets hot during long transfers. Peak speed is unchanged.
