Passive cooling

Alphacool says it is now the first manufacturer to offer a mini cooler for M.2 SSDs. This one provides passive cooling, which in Alphacool's words ensures "better performance power". Alphacool also says the original appearance lets it fit seamlessly into any system. Its technical specifications are short: the material, the color, the plate size and the weight above.

Installation

Everything needed for an easy setup is included: thermal pads, clips and two cooling plates. Alphacool's assembly instructions take two steps. First, the thermal pads are placed onto the chips. Then the cooling plates go on top of these and are fastened with the clips, which Alphacool's page calls clamps. The slight height of the plates ensures they aren't in the way during installation, as well as letting them quickly dissipate heat. More coolers of this kind are in our M.2 SSD heatsinks section.
