Heatsink and Bracket Kit

This kit provides a replacement M.2 2280 SSD heatsink and support bracket for Dell Alienware M15 R5 Ryzen Edition and M15 R6 2021 laptops. It enables the installation of a 2280 NVMe drive in either Slot 1 or Slot 2. The package includes the heatsink cover, bracket and two screws.

Thermal Interface Components

The heatsink cover draws heat away from the installed SSD during normal operation. The metal bracket secures the drive firmly against the thermal pad area. Both parts are passive components with no moving parts, fans or power requirements.

Slot 1 and Slot 2 Compatibility

This set fits the specific heatsink part numbers 26X1Y and 29GT8 and bracket part number MHKK8 used in the listed Alienware models. Buyers needing a different form factor or a bracket for another laptop series cannot use this kit.

Questions about this item

How do I fit the 26X1Y heatsink and MHKK8 bracket into the M15 R5 Ryzen Edition, and which step do people miss?

Remove the bottom cover, insert the 2280 NVMe SSD into Slot 1 or Slot 2, place the 26X1Y heatsink on the drive, fasten the MHKK8 bracket over it, and secure both supplied screws — the step most often missed is fitting the bracket before tightening the heatsink.

What upkeep will the 26X1Y heatsink and MHKK8 bracket need after installation?

No routine maintenance is required; the heatsink and bracket are passive parts, so only check the two screws remain snug if you ever reopen the laptop for another upgrade.

What thermal limit appears first on the 26X1Y heatsink during long, heavy write sessions?

The heatsink relies on passive conduction to the chassis, so sustained workloads will hit the drive’s own throttling point before the 26X1Y assembly becomes the bottleneck.
