M.2 SSD Blocks
An M.2 drive under sustained write load throttles, and it throttles fastest when it is sitting in the slot directly under a hot graphics card. A water block ties the drive into the loop so its temperature stops depending on whatever the GPU is doing.
Full water blocks: Alphacool Core M.2 NVMe PCIe 4.0 liquid cooler, the HDX Apex 2280 in acetal and in acrylic with aRGB, the HDX Pro Water M.2 NVMe 2280 MCX version, Aquacomputer's kryo M.2 block in copper, and the Barrow 2280/22110 M.2 block.
Active and passive alternatives, if you would rather not plumb the drive: the Barrow premium 2280/22110 dual fan heatsink in black, and the Barrowch 2280/22110 full aluminum heatsink with a digital temperature display.
Check the length your drive actually is. 2280 is the common size, 22110 is longer and will not fit a 2280 only block. Check clearance against the graphics card too, since a block plus fittings is taller than the bare drive.
