Review on πŸ’» Easycargo M.2 2280 SSD Heatsink Kit: Cooler Aluminum Heat Sink with Silicone Based Thermal Pad for Efficient Cooling of PC M2 NGFF SSD, NVME (70mmx22mmx30mm) by Dang Esq

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Look no further than an inexpensive m.2 copper heatsink

This caused my Samsung Evo 970 m.2 NVME drive to drop 20 degrees Celsius. I originally sat at 80-85 with a max of 88 under the Aida64 stress test. It was so hot because my m.2 drive is on the back of an Asus Z97i-Plus Mini-ITX motherboard in a tiny case with little rear airflow. But after adding this, another thermal pad rated at 6W/mk, and pointing a 40mm Noctua fan at it, I now hit 60 degrees under load. Pretty happy with how it turned out. It fits perfectly in my Hadron Hydro case. I needed a low profile and it was perfect, leaving about 2-3mm of room for airflow.

Pros
  • Rugged construction
Cons
  • No mold required
