So bought an M.2 SSD, but it's PCB is green, so while I'm not concerned with thermals of the card with good case cooling, I want to make it look nice.
 

I'm having trouble finding M.2 SSD heatsinks (after market) is there any that people have used and/or found that they can recommend or at least suggest as something?

 

My searches seem to lead to PCI cards that hold M.2 heatsinks.

I put these on my Intel 600p SSD to both provide surface area for heat dissipation and to get rid of the green PCB, though to be honest, its not easy to tell its green looking through my case.

Yeah cool! I got a 600p as well, it's quite green.

 

I'll see if it's even visible after my build, but these look like a decent possibility.

 

How many did you need?

Actually that's pretty pro, I like it, both black or silver I'll see if I can find one thanks!

 

...Would it be a bit weird in an air cooled build though? Meh I don't care.

 

EDIT: I did find one! Only $19 *AUD not bad, I'll get one I think, not that big of a risk.

Found one!

no. Those are designed to effectively do the same thing as what I linked. They look a bit better IMO though I dont know how well the EK logo would look. Seems like it may be out of place a bit in my opinion.
