ARCTICM2 Pro - Heatsink cooler for M.2 2280 SSD, with ARCTIC TP-3 thermal pads, compatible with PC & PS5, for dual and single-sided SSDs - Silver

Extremely simple installation, dropped the drive temperatures by 10 degrees.

I used this on the 2nd SSD in my PC. It has passive cooling as the mobo fan deals with the main SSD. I was hitting 70c+ when gaming and it was causing SSD 2 to disconnect. After adding this cooler I am NOT seeing temps greater than 60c even in the recent hot weather. No issues and no disconnects anymore. Good product!

I purchased it to use as a Heat sink for my PS5 around mid-February. It was sufficiently easy to install and is still working so far with no issues. Speed and quality are fine, can barely notice any difference from loading up from the PS5's internal memory. However, it does require a little pressure to disassemble, and the edges can be quite sharp, so it requires a little due care when installing the memory stick.

Does the job and looks good too with my my arctic silver cpu cooler. Most importantly it does what it supposed to, keeps nvme drive cool 👍

You would expect from a company such as arctic who are normally very good in the cooling department,However this M.2 heatsink has "Pro" in the name bit because they say it doesn't mean it's true at all,So what do we have here,And what are all of the problems (Everything)1. The M.2 heatsink cooling fins are sharp when arctic say use safety gloves to install your ssd they really mean it, The problem is those fins are extremely sharp and even though I was wearing gloves it still cut through and cut my hand,2. Unlike nearly every other m.2 heatsink that uses a small screw to secure the top and the bottom parts together (They supply the screw&screwdriver) This Arctic heatsink doesn't because it's "Easy" as it's a sliding mechanism, Really arctic please get some quality control on these because my unit is literally stuck because the metal is actually bent on the bottom part of the heatsink, So it's jammed, ( I know I can use two screw drivers to push and lift at the same time but you said it was an easy arctic with your none screw solution)3. The packaging is awful because arctic thought "let's make it look a wrapper of a pack of gum"It doesn't scream quality product at all,4. My unit didn't come with any thermal pads ( That's either a quality control issue at the factory when packing the heatsink) You need those thermal pads for heat dissipation from the m.2 ssd,5. Anything that cuts you when wearing safety gloves is a problem,What this actually is......A badly designed heatsink, Causes injury for customers using said heatsink,I can't even pull mine apart because if I do with two screw drivers it will snap the metal in half,What's the worst part,The extremely terrible quality control, No thermal pads on my unit, Extremely sharp cooling fins,Absolutely 100% avoid and get yourself a vastly better heatsink with a great design such as as the Be quiet! MC1,Why the Be Quiet! MC1 you might ask well in the UK it's £4 more than this, For that extra £4 you won't cut yourself of silly sharp cooling fins,The MC1 will fit in the PS5 also,So save yourself time and blood coming from your hand while wearing safety gloves and buy the MC1 instead,The MC1 is the vastly better product, At least that came with thermal pads in the box,

Love Arctic Freezer products. This was easy to assemble and install. Keeps my nvme cool too. Fits neatly under my graphic card

Ooh chilly

So I can only echo what others have said in the reviews. The quality control on this item seems poor.Almost impossible to push the 'lid' down over the sides, certainly not a simple install like the YouTube video would make out, I ended up putting a wider item on top and standing on it. That's how tight the top is. A simple screw solution rather than clips would be much better here.Previously always used BeQuiet MC1 heatsinks and only went with this due to delivery times. Wouldn't buy again when there are better options out there which are much easier to install.
