NVMe M.2 Aluminum Heatsink Cooler for 2280 M2 SSD Heat Sink with Silicone Thermal Pad (red)

This product was super easy to install and works great. Also looks great. Can't beat it for the price.

Used with my WD Black 1tb ssd. Easy install, works great, looks fantastic, and fits in the PS5.

It really helped with a few of my nvme’s when I did a Black and red color scheme for my pc. Did well to transfer the heat.

Ships in a nice little plastic case and comes with everything needed for install. It was nice not having to run to the work bench for cleaning wipes or a tiny screwdriver.Install was easy and it works as intended. Picked up one for a WD SN850 going in a PS5 and the other for an SN850 that was already installed in my desktop PC.

I bought this for a 1TB Samsung m.2 drive that was running a little warm. Wow, this made a huge difference when the drive was under load. I was not expecting much from this non-fan heat spreader.It comes with two pieces of silicone heat pads for top and bottom of the chip. They stretch easily and I had to trim them a little to not interfere with the interface or screw attachment slot. The radiator portion is hefty put seats well and has adjustable height by a mm or so for installation. After install I ran a few games for an hour and normally I would get a very warm reading from Samsung magician. Now with this heat spreader it stays in normal levels. For a little under $10 I didn’t have high hopes for success but it works. This is also after I had little success with my drive temp cooling by installing additional exhaust fan etc.. I will say it makes me curious how a difference a fanned heat spreader would make, but for now this little piece of aluminum makes it just right. I didn’t go over normal operating temperature and cools down quickly to low temp when idle.The adhesion on silicone padding isn’t great but it really shouldn’t be. I took one star off because I had scrape marks on the side that looked like it was a return item and used. I paid for new, expected new.

These were perfect for use with my NVME drives that I had installed in my workstation.Price was reasonable compared to the other brands advertised here on Amazon.Build quality was great for the price -- finish and material appears to be anodized aluminum, which is about as good as one can hope for in a heatsink. The heatsinks I received came with heatsink interface pads (which go between the chips on the NVME device and the heatsink itself).I do recommend this particular M2 heatsink.

This may seem like a little bit of a gimmicky product, and when you receive it, it definitely seems like it may be some cheap Chinese knockoff heatsink. It came with zero instructions so I had to wing it. The entire package was the size of a credit card, and it had the heatsink, back plate, mounting screws, and two different pieces of thermal compound tape (one thicker, one thinner). I went with the thinner piece of thermal compound, mounted the entire thing on my SSD, and re-installed onto my motherboard.I wasn't expecting much from this less than $10 product, but after about 2 days of testing, I can honestly say it does make a pretty significant difference. Under heavy load, after several hours my ADATA SSD would be hitting anywhere from 70-75C. With this product installed, it hasn't gone above 67C even under heavy load for an extended period of time. I would say this product is worth anywhere from 5-10C depending on your case airflow and where your M.2 SSD is mounted on your motherboard. Mine is directly below my GPU and one of my two front case fans is blowing directly on it as well, so that may be helping in my situation. At any rate, this well worth the $9 I paid for it. It absolutely made a difference in lowering my SSD temps.

It's fairly easy to set up. I haven't compared the temperature before and after but currently it's wthiin the 30's on average. Also to note that my ASUS strix rx580 is directly over the m.2 slot and the fans are designed and set to be in 0 rpm mode under low usage and temperature, meaning the airflow to the m.2 is severely restricted. Despite this I'm glad to see the SSD have healthy temps in regular use cases. It comes with 2 thermal pads and I used the thinner of the 2 on the side with the fins. I don't know if it matters though.
