Temperature drop 10℃+

*icepc 70*20*2mm NVMe SSD Heatsink* This heatsink might not look like much, but it works! I installed the Samsung 970 Evo in the M.2 slot on the back of the motherboard where there is no air at all. The motherboard cutout on the case also covered half of the slot, so I needed a thin heatsink to fit between the mobile device and the case plate. Enter this beauty. Through a couple of rubber bands I got the load temp down from throttling at over 80C to 70C and the idle temp from 60C to around 50C. You may see better results if your M.2 drive gets some airflow evenly. I highly recommend this spotlight. Installation was easy and straightforward. Be careful, touching the flat surface of the heatsink or thermal pad can leave marks and affect conductivity. After a few months, the black stripes wore out from heat and stress and cracked when I moved them. Now the radiator is held on the housing. I wasn't looking for replacement rubber bands, but I would avoid household rubber bands. The hardware store may have rubber o-rings or tape that may help.

Pros
  • Put a silicone cooling pad between the heatsink and SSD to prevent damage to the SSD and protect the SSD particles, which can effectively extend the life of your SSD.
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options
