Features

  • Passive heatsink for M.2 NVMe Next Generation Form Factor SSDs

Description

EK-M.2 NVMe Heatsink is a passive heatsink for M.2 NVMe Next Generation Form Factor SSDs. It is a much needed aesthetical and functional heatsink for many PC owners. It is not a secret that M.2 NVMe SSDs can overheat very easily and be subdued to thermal throttling, thus losing performance. The heatsink brings 7-30°C improvement in SSDs temperatures, or even more with sufficient air flow.The unique design of the heatsink ensures that it is easy to install, it is low profile, easily reusable and aesthetically not intrusive. Simple clips ensure that the heatsink is very easy to install and to re-use if the SSDs is upgraded. Its simple design ensures a sleek, non-intrusive look that can be easily combined with any aesthetical requirement of the user. The compact design makes it highly compatible so that it does not interfere with other components.The EK-M.2 NVMe Heatsink is compatible with all single-sided type 2280 M.2 NVMe SSDs (22mm wide, 80mm long). Because the heatsink consists of a front and backplate as well, the compatibility is limited to M.2 (NGFF) connectors of 4.2mm height.Technical details:Materials used: - Aluminium front cover- Aluminium backplate- Stainless steel clipsEnclosed:- EK-M.2 NVMe Heatsink front cover - black- EK-M.2 NVMe Heatsink backplate - black- Mounting clips- Thermal pad 0.5mm- Thermal pad 1mm- Thermal padsMade in Slovenia - Europe!PLEASE NOTE:The heatsink is compatible with all single sided type 2280 M.2 NVMe SSDs (22mm wide, 80mm long).The heatsink is compatible with M.2 (NGFF) connectors 4.2mm height (as seen from examples).Its mandatory to mount thermal pads on both sides of the M.2 NVMe SSD.The ASUS HYPER M.2 PCIe card just for showcase it is not included!

  • Impressive heatsink! 13-25°C reduction in temperature under load with no changes to airflow
I have one of the earlier motherboards that supports M.2 NVMe SSDs, a Gigabyte GA-Z170X-Gaming 3 rev. 1.0. This board puts the primary M.2 slot right next to the first PCIe slot and does not include an M.2 heatsink. Which means my Samsung 970 Evo Plus is just sitting bare underneath my graphics card, not exactly a great place for cooling. Under full synthetic load (the first two screenshots) with no heatsink, the flash memory itself reaches 65°C and the controller reaches a toasty 83°C. With the heatsink applied as per the included instructions, things are looking much cooler; 52°C max for the drive and 58°C max for the controller. So a 13°C drop on the flash memory itself, and a massive 25°C drop on the controller, and that is with identical fan speeds across the board (I used an NZXT hardware fan controller for my case fans, and MSI Afterburner to control my GPU fans for these tests). Idle temperatures on the NAND flash did not change significantly, but the controller now idles 5-7°C lower than before. Even if the reduced temps don't make my drive noticeably faster, I suspect that they'll make the drive last longer by preventing the controller from cooking itself Installing the heatsink was pretty straightforward, just cut the included thermal pads to length, (making sure to place the thicker one on top of the SSD and the thin one underneath), line up the two halves, and latch on the clips. I did not remove the stickers from the drive beforehand, seemed like more effort than it was worth. I'd recommend using a small flathead screwdriver to get the clips on all the way, it's much easier and safer than trying to exert a ton of force on the clips. On my motherboard, the heatsink did bump up against a PCIe x1 slot, but I was still able to screw in the SSD. And perhaps most importantly, my GPU still fits in its slot. My tests were ran using ATTO Disk Benchmark, and temps monitored with HWiNFO64, both of which are available for free. ... show more

  • Win-Win. Great looks, cooler temps. What more could you ask for?
Okay, so it won't make your M.2 drive faster or have more space. Those are really the only things more you could ask for. BUT, this little heatsink is pretty cool - haha get it?! Really though. It looks very nice inside the case and keeps my M.2 Samsung 950 Pro about 10-12 degrees cooler on average. I wasn't exactly super worried about the temps in the mid-high 40s, but temps in the mid 30s is better :) Installation was easy enough. Power down, remove M.2 drive, cut the thermal pads to length, add thermal pad and backplate, thermal pad and heatsink, clamp together, re-install drive and boot up. I will say the clamps were very tight. Just make sure you don't manhandle the heatsink while trying to get the clamps on to the point you break your drive in half. Eventually got them on, and clearly didn't break my drive or I wouldn't be typing this right now cause it's my boot/OS drive. Note, on my motherboard - Asus ROG Maximus VIII Gene, I had to move the GPU to the x8 slot to be able to see the drive/heatsink. That said, my GPU performance is exactly the same and has not suffered by not using the x16 slot. I didn't check to see whether it would still fit in the x16 slot over the drive w/heatsink - because I like how it looks! Most other motherboards won't have this issue, but as this is an mATX in a pretty small case, I ran with it. Works great, looks great. TIP: don't install the backplate all the way to the far end (where the screw goes) or you'll have a hard time reinstalling the drive. The backplate has a cutout to go around the motherboard standoff, but you need to give it an extra couple millimeters for easiest re-installation. ... show more

  • Solved throttling issue on Samsung 970 Evo Plus
The controller on my 970 Evo Plus nvme drive (situated right below an overclocked RTX 3080) was running uncomfortably hot. The controller was frequently reaching above 70c during mixed GPU+read/write intensive tasks. Unfortunately I had lost the heat spreader that came with my motherboard. This heatsink was low enough profile to fit underneath the GPU without making contact and reduced the controller temps during these workloads. Most users probably won't need something like this and I imagine the heat spreader that came with my motherboard would have worked similarly well. For my particular situation though, this was the exact thing I needed and it worked. One thing to keep in mind though is that SSD's precise thickness and layouts vary - you may need to carefully consider/reconsider how you place the thermal padding to make sure everything fits together the way you want. An extra thermal pad strip would be the only improvement to this kit I could think of.f ... show more

  • Real world results - Better than expected!
I decided on the EK-M.2 mostly because of it's low profile. The card I needed this for is mounted right under my graphics card. There was very little room for a tall heatsink. I also read some previous reviews which were positive. This heatsink outperformed my expectations. Here are my REAL world results: WD Black SN750 500GB drive bare. Idle temp 48C, Under load 68C. After installing the EK-M.2 Idle temp 34C, Under load 48C. This little heatsink is extremely impressive! Very easy to install, low profile for tight spaces and most importantly keeps my M.2 card temps in check. Highly recommended! ... show more

  • Not what I thought it was going to be
I ordered this on a chance to cool off my secondary M.2 drive. Having installed Cyberpunk on launch day, and watching the temps, it definitely got a little warm. I did a bit of research before ordering, and a lot of people said it wouldn't help. Even an official response from Samsung stating that it wouldn't function if you didn't remove the stickers from the drive, which voids the warranty. I ordered a pack of Thermal Grizzly pads along side it, and installed them together when it arrived. Working temps during gaming loads keeps it well below the thermal throttle threshold, I don't think I've seen it go above 55c with a 3090 being parked right on top of it. It's cheap, it works, and doesn't require a lot to do. 10/10 recommend. ... show more
