Features

SSDs in M.2 format are becoming increasingly popular. The high transfer rates and extremely low access times allow you to work or play on your PC faster and more effectively. To ensure that you can use the full performance of the M.2 2280 SSD permanently, Alphacool offers the HDX Apex Acetal M.2 2280 SSD cooler. It is a useful extension for any water circuit and ensures that the M.2 SSD memory can release its full potential.

Why an active M.2 cooler?

Due to their design, M.2 SSDs are only able to reach their maximum performance for a short period of time. The controller chip heats up extremely quickly and begins to throttle the performance of the M.2 SSD early on to prevent overheating. Independent tests have shown that during write operations, the transfer rates of uncooled M.2 SSDs can drop after just 30 seconds. During read operations, throttling usually occurs a few seconds later. With the Alphacool HDX Apex Acetal M.2 2280 SSD cooler, you can use the maximum performance of the SSD over a much longer period of time. This is clearly noticeable during longer read and write operations.

Assembly

The HDX Apex Acetal cooler is compatible with M.2 2280 SSDs that are equipped on one or both sides. If the PCB is equipped with memory chips on both sides, the 0.5 mm thermal pad is used on both sides. If memory chips are only installed on one side, the 1.5 mm thermal pad is used on the side without chips. After the top and bottom of the SSD have been equipped with thermal pads, the SSD memory is pushed into the retaining clip and mounted under the cooler. Installation on the mainboard is then carried out as usual. The cooler can now be integrated into the water circuit using the existing G1/4" connections.

Copper instead of aluminum!

Alphacool only uses copper in its water coolers. The reason is simple: copper has almost twice the thermal conductivity of aluminum and is therefore obviously the better choice of material for water cooling.
