NVME Cooling question

[narsbars]

Suggestions for an overkill NVME cooler? Gen 4 NVME, 2 TB, the whole unit is being used for learning (playing with) some AI so I don't expect the NVME to be overworked. I just want something that will take care of it with plenty of overhead. Considerations, being in the M.1 slot I may have to consider room but I will be adding one to the M.2 slot also. Hoping for something that does not make a huge amount of noise if you feel a fan is a necessity.

is there airflow over the m2 slots? if so, just get one with a heatsink, like a samsung.

I saw an nvme water block at microcenter yesterday, I think it was by Corsair.

This is what I plan to get:

I am concerned about noise, so it would be nice if you get it and report back

Obviously it won't fit under my CPU cooler

Fair, but definitely could be better.

Thanks, Not sure it this will fit the M.1 slot and if I have a power point in reach, so I ordered 1 so to check. This looks like serious overkill for a gen 4 NVME, exactly what I wanted. I will report back on the noise.

The flash memory itself is very tolerant of higher temperatures. It's mainly the SSD controller on the drive that benefits from cooling, as it will throttle at higher temperatures and that will reduce SSD performance. If you already have the SSD, it might be worth monitoring temps to see what your temperatures actually are during heavy usage.

Also, all of the slots are called M.2 slots. It doesn't matter if it's the first, second, third slot, etc. Usually they are designated as M.2_1, M.2_2, M.2_3, etc. Computers don't have "M.1" slots.

PM sent. Cheap, quiet, long cord, good temps, cheap, cheap, and not noisy. Glad I got it.

Thermalright HR-09 2280 Pro...no noise and cools great.

Looks like they were made by the same factory.
