YPingk M.2 NVME to PCIe 4.0 x4 Adapter with Aluminum Heatsink

SKU CH-FAG1-PXTCT

Adds an M-key NVMe drive to a PCIe 4.0 x4 slot with an aluminum heatsink for 5-20 degrees Celsius cooling

  • Product typeM.2 NVME to PCIe
  • M.2 NVMe SSD to PCIe expansion card with aluminium heatsink
  • Aluminium heatsink delivers 5-20 degrees Celsius cooling effect
  • Supports 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 mm M.2 SSDs
  • PCIe 4.0 x4 works in x4, x8 and x16 slots
  • Compatible with Samsung, Intel, Toshiba and Kingston NVMe drives

M.2 NVMe to PCIe 4.0 x4 Adapter

This adapter converts an M.2 M-key NVMe SSD to a standard PCIe x4, x8 or x16 slot. It targets builders who want to add fast solid-state storage to a motherboard lacking an onboard M.2 connector. The board accepts 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 length drives. It does not support B-key M.2 SATA or PCIe x2 modules.

Sustained thermal performance

An included aluminium heatsink and thermal pad lower drive temperatures by 5 to 20 degrees Celsius under load. The PCB uses 24 by 5 copper ventilation holes to move heat away from the controller. LED indicators show power and access status so you can monitor activity during long transfers. The card runs at PCIe 4.0 x4 speeds when the platform supports it.

Build and daily use

A screwdriver and complete screw kit ship in the box for immediate installation. The single-slot bracket fits standard expansion openings without blocking adjacent cards. Compatibility covers Samsung 950 Pro, 960 EVO, 970 EVO and 970 Pro, Intel Optane 800P, 760p, 660p and 600p series, plus Toshiba OCZ RD400 and Kingston KC1000 drives. TRIM and UASP support maintain drive health over time.

Questions about this item

How much cooler does the aluminum heatsink keep the M.2 NVME SSD under sustained all-day loads?

The aluminum heatsink delivers a 5-20 degrees Celsius cooling effect, and the PCB includes 24 copper ventilation holes plus a thermal pad to dissipate heat during continuous operation.

What motherboard slot and key type are required for this adapter to function?

It needs a PCIe x4, x8 or x16 slot on a motherboard that supports PCIe 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 or 4.0, and it only accepts M-key M.2 NVME SSDs — B-key or SATA drives will not work.

Will a Samsung 960 EVO or Intel 760p series drive work in this adapter alongside an older PCIe 3.0 motherboard?

Yes, both listed drives are M-key NVME models supported by the adapter, and the card is backward compatible with PCIe 3.0 motherboards while still providing the heatsink and ventilation benefits.
