SilverStone SST-TP02-M2 M.2 SSD Cooling Kit

Q: Is there any concern about the SSD cooling kit interfering with other components on my PC?

Yes, the product information mentions that 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.

Q: Has anyone tried this product in a micro ATX setup with an RTX 2080ti?

Hello, Thank you for contacting us in regards to your question. Something you may want to make note of with this particular unit is listed in the product features: "If the M .2 slot on the motherboard is situated next to a PCIe slot, the height of the TP02-M2 ‘s heat sink may interfere with graphic card or expansion card installation, we recommended installing TP02-M2 onto other available M.2 slots on the motherboard to avoid interference issue." If your particular mATX board positions the M.2 drive below the PCIe slot, you may have clearance issues. Thank you, Newegg Support

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.

Features

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.

Comparison

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

Compatibility

The following SSD models have been tested and verified by SilverStone to work optimally with the product presented on this page.

Intel NVMe SSD 760p Series
Samsung NVMe SSD 970 EVO M.2
Samsung NVMe SSD 970 PRO M.2
Samsung NVMe SSD SM951/961 M.2
Samsung NVMe SSD 960 EVO M.2
Samsung NVMe SSD 960 PRO M.2

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.

Features
Features	With the ever increasing popularity of solid state drive (SSD) being used as the primary storage device in PCs, capacity and performance continue to climb in newer models but so have their operating temperatures. This has resulted in situations where SSDs, especially the smaller M.2 variants with less surface areas have overheated and throttled or shut down completely. To help alleviate this new generation of heat problems, SilverStone created the TP02-M2 cooling kit, it includes quality aluminum heatsink and custom high efficiency thermal pads to provide a simple and effective cooling solution for M.2 SSDs.

The SilverStone SST-TP02-M2 is an aluminum heatsink and thermal-pad cooling kit for M.2 2280 SSDs, suited to PC builders who want to add cooling to a compatible drive using a simple silicone-band attachment.

Recommended For

Desktop users with a 2280 NVMe SSD that runs hot during sustained large file transfers, writes, or other heavy I/O, and who want a simple passive heatsink; a Phoronix test found the drive ran cooler under heavy I/O with this kit installed.
PC builders whose 2280 M.2 SSD lacks a motherboard heatsink and needs a removable cooling option; the kit uses silicone bands to hold the heatsink in place rather than requiring a permanent attachment.
Users installing a 2280 M.2 SSD on a PCIe adapter card who need a separate heatsink and thermal pads; the kit includes pads intended for use with an adapter card.
PC builders with a spare M.2 slot away from the graphics card or other expansion cards, who can choose a location with enough clearance for a 10 mm-tall heatsink.
