Laptop NVMe M.2 Heatsink with Nano Thermal Pads，Heat Sink Copper for 2280 M2 SSD Laptop (2pcs)

I bought these to correct an SSD overheating issue that I experienced with the Acer Predator Helios 16 (2023 edition with the Intel i9 and Nvidia RTX 4080). Essentially, the laptop's stock SSD is prone to overheating, and it even idled warm (upwards of 55C in some cases, in a climate controlled house). So, I looked around, saw a random YouTube video of someone using a product that looks similar to this one (might even be this one, I don't know lol), so I gave it a shot. Pros 1. It actually worked. After installation, the SSD idled at around 40-45C and ceased throttling under load. I could still make it throttle if I pushed it hard enough, but it was DEFINITELY a MASSIVE improvement. 2. Installation was easy enough. Place thermal pad on SSD, place copper heatsink on top, secure with the clear plastic bands. Screw SSD back into its slot. Win. Easy stuff. 3. I appreciate that there were different thicknesses. Laptops don't have a ton of clearance. I used the thinner of the two pads and I'm sure I could've used the thicker one, but once I saw the results I got, I didn't want to mess with it again. 4. Honestly, I think this is amazing for laptop owners. A lot of modern laptops have SSDs that run hot (Acer, Lenovo, and I think either HP or Dell are particularly bad with it. Less so with Asus and either HP or Dell (whichever one I got wrong the first time lol)). This corrects that problem. 5. Cheap. Honestly, for the amount of work it does, it may be one of the better price-to-performance PC/laptop parts I've ever purchased. Cons 1. It's not the most attractive thing you've ever seen, but considering how few people actually sit and stare at the bottom of their laptops with the cover off, it literally doesn't matter in the slightest. Overall, I ended up eventually returning my Acer Predator Helios 16 (just wasn't for me, even though it's a beastly laptop) and ended up with an Asus G18 instead. Fortunately, the G18 doesn't need an SSD heatsink like the Acer did. I could've returned this for a refund since I didn't need it anymore, but I liked it so much that I kept it. The other thermal pads are still in new condition so I have an SSD heat sink if I ever need one. In short, this product works wonders if your laptop SSDs run hot, like mine did. If I decided to keep my Helios 16, I would still be using this. Heck, I might install it on my G18's SSD just to have it there.

Worked as intended!! Fairly easy to install.

These were cheap and performed significantly better than the heat transfer system that was used by the factory that assembled my laptop. Temperatures are 12C cooler under load and throttling is gone. The provided copper is quite thin, which is great for the tight spaces of a laptop. The included 0.5mm pads (thinner than the usual 1mm pads, also included) was a great option for fitting the tight spaces of a laptop. The heat sink area is smaller than competing products and the flex of the thin heat sinks can create a challenge for SSDs with chips on just one half of the backside of the SSD. They were quite tricky to install given the stiffness of the retention bands and the finickiness of the thin copper material. The included instructions didn't make clear what the thin insulator strip was for, making things more difficult for amateurs to install. But once I got it installed, at least for my laptop, it did the job. It's not pretty looking, but who's looking inside my laptop? Great value for the money and did the job.

Dramatically lowered temps in my Alienware laptop. • Gaming (under load): 72°C → 62°C • Idle: 52°C → 43°C Build quality: Solid copper, perfect thickness for heat dissipation. Application: Super easy — just stretch the rubber bands well first (see tip below). Pro Tip for the bands (if you're struggling): 1. Stretch the bands really well in all directions. 2. Cup the NVMe in your palm. 3. Hook one side of the band and hold with your thumb. 4. Pull the other side over and slide the band down. Stopped thermal throttling, restored full NVMe speed, fans stay quiet. 100% would buy again.

On my new laptop, with a Gen 5 NVMe, the drive would very quickly go to 70C and thermally throttle. These copper heat spreaders solved the problem. I recommend using the thinner pads and using the kapton tape in the kit to tape the copper pieces on. I don't trust the rubber bands because those will expand when heated, reducing the mounting pressure of the heat spreaders. Kapton tape is tough and durable and has a much higher working temperature range. The tape included with this kit is pretty good. The adhesive is strong. The nice thing about this kit is that you can use it on pretty much any laptop due to it being low profile.

These are great! Hefty copper plates with two different thicknesses of thermal pads. They fit in my mini pc fine and immediately dropped my NVMe temps like ten degrees. A+, about to buy another set!

Perfect for any Laptop NVME SSD

Pros: -Copper heatsinks are great for cooling PCI-E 3.0 & 4.0 NVME SSDs. -Comes with 3 bands that hold the heatsink and thermal pad to the ssd. -Fits in most laptops/desktops Cons: -The thermal pads are VERY low quality. They act as insulators. I tried both the 1/2mm and 1mm pads and both caused my Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1tb (PCI-E 3.0) to have an idle temperature of 55 degrees Celsius and a full load temperature of 67 degrees Celsius (70 degrees Celsius will kill an ssd)! I bought a Thermalright 1mm thermal pad and that dropped both idle and load temperatures by 10 degrees Celsius. Final Thoughts: I would still recommend this product, but be sure to buy better 1mm thermal pads.

Recommended. Fits perfect.

My SSD at the back of the motherboard is Gen 4. It gets very toasty at 101 C under load. It is pressed up against the Riser cable and GPU backplate, hence no scope for a heatsink even thin ones. This, is REALLY slim and flat. The heatsink is about 1.5mm thick. So after using it, my temps never cross 95 C under load. That's pretty good under the circumstances.

Super quality and works as expected. Good heat dissipation from the SSD.

I initially placed an order for two of these items but actually got 3. I bought them to use in my MSI Katana 15 that had a 2TB SSD option and I bought a Samsung 990 Pro 4TB to install as well. As you can see, I used the heatsinks on both SSDs to get maximum cooling on both. To test out, I copied my data from an older Samsung QVO 870 4TB drive attached to a USB enclosure to this one. You can see that the Samsung 990 didn't get hot at all under load and kept under 50 degrees Celsius. (For reference, you can see that the QVO got to over 60 degrees Celsius as the enclosure didn't do a good job of keeping things cool.) I ended up using my third item on my desktop as well, that motherboard did not have a heatsink for the NVME slot, which itself had a 1TB drive. Almost immediately the standing temperature dropped 15 degrees from 54 degrees Celsius to 39 degrees Celsius. Some advice for those looking to use these items. 1) Use the different thickness pads on the top of the SSD to ensure maximum cooling. I used the thinner pads for the storage chips while the controller chips got the thicker pads. This was not an issue for the SSD that was in the Desktop as the storage chip and controller chip were at the same height. As for the bottom, a thinner pad is good enough. I put the heatsinks on both sides of the SSD. 2) Mount your heatsinks away from the port itself. In my installation, there was a 1mm overhang from the side where the screw is. If you don't, you run the risk of the SSD not properly sitting in the NVME port. That's what happened to me and initially made my SSDs not detectable. Of course don't mount it in a way that you can't screw it in the first place. 3) Needlenose pliers are a must to put on the elastics. While 2 may be enough, I ended up using 4 with two on each side of the Laptop SSDs where the Memory and Controller Chips are. This allows the chips to have better contact with the thermal pads and the heatsinks while ensuring that the heatsinks stay on the SSD. Note that the Desktop SSD only has two elastics as I inadvertently broke one while trying to put it on. In addition, I added 2 conductive stickers for each SSD that in theory, should transfer some of the heat from the top heatsink to the bottom. I recommend using these heatsinks regardless of whether you are using a laptop or a desktop.

I bought this heatsink for a Amazon brand new Trigkey 8core 16 thread ryzen 5800H Micro PC with upgraded 2 tb nvme. The nvme was not an expensive one and it's not particularly high speed either read 2000MB/s write 1150MB/s 3x4 pcie operating temperature 0-70c. I am using this mini computer as a full time server running unraid and nextcloud for my business and product delivery of digital goods. During download from the server, which is actually the server uploading speed of 984mbps TEMPERATURES WERE EXCEEDING the 45c warning notification on each time a customer downloaded a product. Nvme before the heatsink was reaching a 70c temperature. I really didn't like this temperature because it might affect the life of the nvme drive. The warnings were red and they said WARNING HOT. After the copper heatsinks were installed the temperatures dropped drastically. I they are 34c idle and tested again only increased to 41c during a long 30GB file transfer. Download from nextcloud. I am very pleased that the heatsink was compact enough to fit perfectly inside the Mini PC it does come with 2 different thickness of blue 4 pieces of thermal compound. I used the thinnest ones. It was a snug fit against the wifi card below the ssd but the screw fit and I assembled the PC no issues there. Good heatsink. If you have a laptop or mini pc and not much room then this is the right heatsink. The thin copper is very effective at cooling I am very impressed.
