SST-TP02-M2
Lower temperature, higher performance
Your M.2 SSD inevitably produces heat in operation, which leads to its slowdown especially when transferring a huge amount of data. This M.2 SSD cooking kit from SilverStone is the solution to that problem. It combines one aluminum alloy heatsink and three thermal pads to increase cooling efficiency for your M.2 SSD to prevent performance drop associated with generated heat.
Quality Heatsink
Aluminum alloy heatsink expands your M.2 SSD's cooling area for increased heat dissipation.
Heat Conduction Pads
Included thermal pads improve heat exchange efficiency for lower temperature.
Great Compatibility
SST-TP02-M2 supports M.2 SSD in 2280 length and can be used with the M.2 slot on your motherboard.
Effortless Setup
Silicone bands make it easy to apply and affix the heatsink without damaging your M.2 SSD.
Test Environment
CPU: Intel Core i5-6500
Motherboard: Z170-A
RAM: Kingston 8GB DDR4 2133
OS: Windows 10 64 bit
Without TP02-M2, transfer time takes 240 seconds
With TP02-M2, transfer time takes 180 seconds
The following SSD models have been tested and verified by SilverStone to work optimally with the product presented on this page.

Notes:
* Includes two gray colored thermal pads with different thickness. For single sided M.2 SSD (flat back without component), please use 1.5mm thick pad; for double sided M.2 SSD (both sides with components), please use 1mm thick pad.
** If one gray pad is not thick enough to make contact with both M.2 SSD and your motherboard or adapter card, then you should carefully attach both included pads in your SST-TP02-M2 kit together (make sure to avoid trapping air bubbles between them). Your goal is to create enough thickness to enable solid contacts so the heat from M.2 SSD can be transferred through to the motherboard or adapter card
*** If the M .2 slot on the motherboard is situated next to a PCIe slot, the height of the SST-TP02-M2's heatsink may interfere with graphic card or expansion card installation, we recommended installing SST-TP02-M2 onto other available M.2 slots on the motherboard to avoid interference issue.
