GLOTRENDS M.2 Heatsink for 2280 M.2 SSD, Fit for Desktop PC Installation, 22x70x10mm Aluminum Body, Including Thermal Pad

Anyone who PC games knows heat is everything when playing. I had never considered, however, adding a heat sink to my m2 drives. When I purchased my newest computer (which has 4090 rtx) I figured if I could shave a few degrees off, that would be great. Overall I've noticed a drop in temp of between 5 to 6 degrees C, which may not sound like much but when the first several hours of my gameplay stays in the 40 to 50 C degree range it makes for a better experience, and since I now have only the one kidney after buying this monstrosity I want it to last.The set comes with actual brackets or you can use the silicone bands that come with it to attach to the top of the M2 drives. Thermal pads were easy enough to fit even with my fat fumble fingers. I highlly recommend. Happy gaming.

I use these for the secondary drives in me and my wife's gaming laptops. Fits great. Works like it should. Will buy more if needed.

I ordered this for my WD Black NMVE drive that was idling at 58c and would exceed 70c under sustained loads and start to throttle.Installation was easy but make sure you dont place the thermal pad/heatsync too far back or you won't be able to screw the drive to the motherboard.After install, I immediately noticed an improvement in temps. The drive now idles at around 47c and only reached 53c under load with Crystaldisk benchmark.Pros: Cheap, Easy to install, nice black finish. reduced temps by 10+ degrees at idle and 15+ degrees under load.Cons: the instructions are lacking. I wasn't quite sure what to do with the metal brackets as there is no instructions for them and they didn't seem to fit on my drive. I just used the rubber bands.overall this product works as intended and for just $5, it's a no brainer. Buy it.

Attached the heatsink to my Roku Stick after it started overheating with out new Samsung TV. It never overheated with our other TV, but the new Samsung OLED seems to drive the Roku hotter. Since updating the TVs software and the Roku's software didn't fix the issue; I had to resort to plan-B. Adding this heatsink was relatively easy, even though the Roku is not flat. Enough of the heatsink made contact to bring temps down from 116C to 101C. Not as low as I'd hoped for, but the annoying message about my Roku overheating is gone. I'll probably buy another one to attach to the other side of the Roku to see if it can bring it down further.

Works great for laptops

The clips included with the heatsink are sharp enough on the edges to scratch the PCB and they're difficult to get on without doing so. Do yourself a favor and get some single sided foam tape, about 1/8" thick, and cut to size to adhere to the clips (on the inside metal surface). They may fit a little tighter, but that's good since they need to hold the heatsink in place anyhow, and it won't risk damaging the SSD.You can see where the clip scratched the PCB and exposed part of the trace in the photo toward the middle and also the left of the photo. Surprised the manufacturer doesn't provide foam tape or have some sort of rubber surround on the clip. Thankfully the SSD is fine and it was somewhat inexpensive, but be extremely careful with something you saved up a lot to buy and looking to keep it in good shape.On a side note, the first question about this product is probably the best question on the internet.

Very easy installation but has a very tight grip around ssd Nvme

I added two 3mm heatsinks to my Asus X16 Flow GV601 2022 model laptop for two drives and was able to lower the temperature on my WD SN850X by 18 C!!I've attached a before and after picture for reference. This heatsink is definitely worth adding. It fixed my BSOD issue from the PCIE WiFi card heating up the NVME.
