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.Pros1. 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.Cons1. 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.

My 990 Pro in my Acer Nitro was overheating. It was averaging 68-74 C (Sensor 2) while gaming and reached a peak of 80 C at one point. Now though, I'm averaging 50-52 C on Sensor 2 with a peak of 60 C (while gaming). So this definitely does help with temperatures. It was a bit nerve racking putting this on though. Take the SSD out, remove stickers from the blue thermal pad on both sides (i used the 0.5mm one), place the blue thermal pad on the front side of your SSD (the side with the logo and the chips), place the blue side of the copper on top of the blue thermal pad, squish it gently to stick it together a bit, and lastly the annoying rubber bands (use tweezers it makes it easier). 10/10 would recommend

I liked they large copper heat sink. the instructions could be better because it comes with a small heat sink that isn't described.the main heat sink that the instructions are for has a large copper hear sink and two different thickness silicon (heat transfer?) pads the got between the copper heat sink and the ssd memory.Small clear elastic bands are used to hold it all together so it does not take any special skills for gluing or heating paste. simple is good. I liked that.need a size zero screw driver to get the old ssd off the motherboard and put the new ssd heatsink assembly back on.Fit well in the 2023 g14 4060 laptop and is larger and better quality than the factory heat sink plus no glue or heat activated paste needed just elasic bands that it comes with.would have 5 stars but instructions didn't make sense since it includes parts not used for main applications.

Great addition to my Crucial Gen 4 NVMe 2280 SSD drives. Comes with two sizes of thermal tape and two copper heatsinks. It didnt take long for installation, and I was back up and running in no time. I dont use my LG gram for anything that pushes the heat to make them throttle, but its definitely a peace of mind to have them.

Works perfectly for my ASUS ROG Strix Scar 16" i9/4080. Lowered my WD 850x and stock Hynix SSD temps by 8-10C both idle and under load. The main (SN850x) SSD idled at 41-43C before now idles at 33-35C, staying under 55C under load.I was able to fit the 1mm (thicker sized) thermal pad perfectly without any fitment issues. The thicker pad will provide better cooling.The only tricky part was the clear rubber bands to hold the heatsink in place- use tweezers

For this price, it is an excellent kit. Having different thickness of pads helps if you have differing chip sizes to deal with. The copper heatsinks are so thick you absolutely need to plan out your fit. For reference I'm using these in an ASUS TUF A15 with dual NVME. One is Windows 11 and the other is EndeavourOS, a flavor of Arch Linux. I used the same testing conditions under each OS running for about the same timeframe and disk operations. Under Win11 without the heatsinks I was seeing temps up to about 64C, but after install the temps dropped to about 52C which is pretty nice. Under Linux without the heatsink I saw about 42C, but after installing the temps dropped to about 39C. It would appear that Linux has a generally cooler handling of the drives in question, which are WD BLACK SN770 2TB. I think these are pretty nice little heatsink plates. I didn't have enough room on the underside of the drives to add any thermal strip/etc, but for the price I'm happy with this performance. I ended up just using the thin pads on both drives and struggled a bit getting the included elastic bands around it, but got it in the end.
