Posted July 26, 2017 Hey there hi! I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice on m.2 cooling. I have the Samsung 850 EVO 250GB M.2-2280 mounted on the bottom of my motherboard and am looking at these two potential options. I think the first one may not fit as it's maybe too tall to fit on the bottom? https://modmymods.com/alphacool-hdx-m-2-ssd-m01-80mm-black-11310.html https://www.moddiy.com/products/Premium-N80-NVME-NGFF-M.2-2280-22x80mm-Cooling-Heatsink-(Silver-White).html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 26, 2017 I have yet to see any m.2 drive need a heatsink in any of the systems I have built... as long as you have good airflow you shouldn't need it. I haven't tried all drives obviously, and always build in nice airflow cases, so that could be it. My m.2 drive currently sits at 39C steady, hardly ever changes. Please quote my post, or put @paddy-stone if you want me to respond to you.

Posted July 27, 2017 Author Thanks for feedback My question is not the necessity though as I have done my own assessment on need but on the compatibility so I appreciate any advice on that matter :D. The raspberry pi ones are really cute, thanks for the link! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
