The AXAGON CLR-M2L6 ALU passive cooler ensures optimal cooling for high-performance M.2 SSDs, especially NVMe. This universal passive cooler can be used for M.2 cards sized 22 x 80 mm. Two included thermal pads allow for installation on both single-sided and double-sided M.2 SSDs. The 6 mm high, ribbed aluminum heatsink improves heat dissipation generated during the operation of the M.2 SSD, reducing drive temperatures by up to 20 °C. This extends the lifespan of the M.2 SSD and prevents the slowdown of the drive, known as thermal throttling. Thanks to its easy installation and compact dimensions, the heatsink can be used not only with AXAGON M.2 adapters but also with M.2 (NGFF) slots on motherboards. The heatsink has the ideal height-to-cooling performance ratio. Key features: recommended placement, solid-state drive, type heatsink/radiator.
