M.2 2280 SSD Heatsink Kit

This aluminum heatsink kit fits M.2 2280 solid-state drives such as the SM951, SM961, 950PRO and XP941. The 70x22x3mm gold-tone alloy body uses a grooved E-shape section to enlarge the dissipation surface. It is designed for builders who want passive cooling for a single-sided module without adding active airflow.

Bundled Thermal Pad and Mounting Hardware

A 1mm silicone thermal pad (70x22mm) bridges the controller and the heatsink for dual heat dissipation. Three rubber rings secure the assembly without bending the PCB, and a dry-and-wet cleaning kit prepares the surface before installation. The accessories complete a tool-free mounting process that keeps the drive flat.

Check Clearance and Drive Layout

Verify that the motherboard slot or expansion card has at least 3mm of vertical space above the drive for the heatsink height. Confirm the target SSD uses the 2280 form factor and places its main controller under the 70x22mm pad area. Buyers with double-sided modules or taller neighbouring components should measure their specific clearance first.

Questions about this item

Does the included 1mm silicone thermal pad need replacement after extended use on the M.2 2280 SSD?

The kit includes a 1mm thick thermal pad sized 70x22mm; it is not marked as a consumable with a fixed replacement interval.

What thermal limit appears first when the 70x22x3mm aluminum heatsink runs continuously on a 2280 drive?

The heatsink relies on passive aluminum fins and a 1mm silicone pad; the limiting factor is the pad-to-controller contact area under sustained load.

How much heat and noise does the 70x22x3mm heatsink add during all-day operation?

The heatsink is passive with no fan, so it adds zero noise; its grooved aluminum fins increase dissipation area to lower SSD temperature.
