Compact M.2 2280 Heatsink

The Corn Electronics M.2-2 is an all-aluminium passive cooler sized at 73 × 24.4 × 9.6 mm and weighing 60 g. It targets desktop builders who need to lower the temperature of a single-sided NVME SSD without adding active airflow or bulk. The grey anodised finish resists corrosion and keeps the interior looking clean.

Passive Cooling Limits

Heat is drawn through a built-in thermal pad and expelled via 45 ° inclined fins that align with typical case airflow. The supplier quotes a 10 to 20 °C drop, but the actual reduction depends on chassis ventilation and ambient temperature. Without forced air the heatsink cannot guarantee a specific ceiling temperature under sustained heavy writes.

Single-Sided Drive Requirement

The mounting geometry only accommodates single-sided M.2 2280 modules such as the Samsung 860 EVO, 960 EVO, 970 EVO and 970 Pro. Double-sided SSDs or ITX motherboards with tight clearances will not fit, so buyers using those configurations must choose a different cooling solution.

Questions about this item

Which colour should I pick for the 73 × 24.4 × 9.6 mm heatsink?

Grey, black and red are offered; the grey version uses the same all-aluminium construction with anode sandblasting and a 45 ° inclined wind guide structure, so thermal performance is identical across colours.

What does the 10 – 20 °C cooling range mean for my NVME SSD in daily use?

The passive copper-and-aluminium heatsink with included thermal pad typically lowers drive temperature by 10 to 20 °C, keeping a single-sided 2280 SSD below throttle points during sustained writes.

How does the M.2 2280 mounting interface limit which drives fit this cooler?

The 73 mm long bracket matches the 2280 form factor and is designed for single-sided modules such as Samsung 860 EVO, 960 EVO, 970 EVO and 970 Pro; double-sided or ITX-board layouts are not supported.
