Silverstone TP03-ARGB M.2 SSD heatsink with ARGB lighting

SKU CH-YA56-TZPQC MPN TP03-ARGB

Aluminium heatsink with 5 V ARGB lighting cools 2280 M.2 SSDs using double-layer thermal pads of 1.5 mm and 1 mm thickness

  • ARGB lighting syncs with motherboard or controller for custom colours
  • Aluminium alloy heatsink expands cooling surface for M.2 SSD
  • Double-layer thermal pad design lowers drive temperature for stable performance
  • Includes 1.5 mm and 1 mm pads for single-sided or double-sided 2280 SSDs
  • Easy installation protects the drive while improving thermal efficiency

M.2 2280 ARGB heatsink kit

The Silverstone TP03-ARGB is an aluminium alloy heatsink designed for 2280 length M.2 solid-state drives. It targets builders who want active cooling and addressable RGB lighting for a single SATA or NVMe module. The kit includes two blue thermal pads of different thicknesses for single-sided or double-sided drives.

Double-layer thermal pads and clearance note

A double-layer pad arrangement increases the contact area between the drive controller and the heatsink for more efficient heat transfer. The 5 V ARGB connector plugs into a compatible motherboard header or separate controller to synchronise lighting effects. Installation is tool-free, but the heatsink height can interfere with adjacent PCIe expansion cards when the M.2 slot sits next to one.

Upgrade from bare-drive operation

This heatsink replaces running an M.2 SSD without any dedicated cooling hardware. The thermal improvement is most noticeable during sustained sequential workloads that would otherwise trigger throttling. Buyers who need to cool multiple drives simultaneously or who lack a 5 V ARGB header on their motherboard will not get the full benefit of this kit.

Questions about this item

Does the 5 V ARGB lighting need a controller or a compatible motherboard header?

The ARGB LEDs require a 5 V ARGB controller or a motherboard with a 5 V ARGB header to display colour combinations.

What M.2 form factor and board thickness does the heatsink support?

It fits 2280 length M.2 SSDs and includes two thermal pads — 1.5 mm for single-sided boards and 1 mm for double-sided boards.

How do I install the heatsink without damaging the SSD?

Choose the correct pad thickness for your SSD, apply it, attach the double-layer aluminium cover, and secure it; if the M.2 slot sits next to a PCIe slot, use a different M.2 slot to avoid clearance issues.
