Thermalright HR-09 2280 PRO SSD heatsink, Double-Sided Heat Sink, with Thermal Silicone Pad for M.2 SSD Hard Disk, PC and Computer, Contains a Heat Pipe, Reflow Soldering Process

Used it on my CT4000T705SSD3 which was running 55 degrees idle on my ASUS motherboard. I was using the provided heatsink that had a single heat pipe. Temp was in the 60s after gaming. With this heatsink, I now run 43 idle and 50 after gaming. I did add a copper/graphene foil to the top of my nvme, but I tested before and after and saw no changes. I left it on with the hopes that it distributed the heat evenly.

This Heatsink worked wonders for me and I plan on getting another! The heatsink is rather tall so it's important to verify it will fit where you need it. My Drives have pretty lack luster heatsinks so I decided to do some searching and found this.My C: Drive has dropped down to as low as 23°C at idle but stays more consistently around 35-40 under high load.Overall a fantastic heatsink if you have the clearance and of course good airflow to the ssd.

I bought this heatsink to replace a smaller aluminum-only heatsink (the $5-10 type). Compared to that heatsink, I noticed upwards of a 5-10C drop in temps on my NVME boot drive. Under a heavy load for my system, this means a drop from ~60C to just over 50C max temps. With that said, 60C is within the safe operating range for NVME drives, so this is definitely not a necessary product for the sake of thermals; you can easily use a smaller/cheaper heatsink and be fine. However, as far as I'm aware, even when it's within the safe operating range for the solid state drives, temperature can have an effect on the lifespan of a drive, so having this heatsink does give me more peace of mind about the longevity of my boot drive.TL;DR : Not a necessary product for M.2 drives, but it is a quality product that I like and would recommend.

Is it completely overkill for a m.2 ssd? Probably, but it is definitely worth it as far as I’m concerned. From the looks of it, my m.2 is averaging around 26° while I’m running a game and I couldn’t be happier with it. Keep in mind, the heat sink isn’t low profile, so it might not work for everyone, but it fit fine for my board.

Been having issues with Windows 11 blue screen crashing. Figured I’d give my SSD temps a check.I haven’t seen temps yet, but I can already tell this heatsink is tremendously better than my stock motherboard heat pad! Barely fits on my Crosshair VIII Dark Hero and NVIDIA 4090, but it did and it looks great! I expect great results!For the price, can’t beat it!

Muy bueno lastima que no medi bien el cooler y no cabe en la primera ranura pero en las demás va bien

I water cool my PC and due to where the Gen 5 NVME is located, I could not use the factory cooling on the motherboard as the waterblock on my graphics card was making it unable to fit due to it's size, so I used a billet aluminum EKWB heatsink on the M.2 drive. Eventually my PC started crashing multiple times a day with me unable to figure out why, that is until I did figure it out.The small heat sink I had added to the M.2 was insanely insufficient, and it was overheating horribly, we're talking over 75°C. So I bought this heat sink and a NVME relocation/extension kit to move the M.2 to a spot where I could put this massive heat sink on it. Sadly the relocation kit is only Gen 4 PCIE technology, so I lost more than half of my speeds, but that isn't the heat sink's fault. What is the heat sink's though, is the awesome passive cooling I now have. My peak temperatures went from 75°C+ to a cool 45°C (And that 45°C was from stress testing so not even every day use kind of temps). Normal operating temps are now around 33°C average instead of the 60°C average temp I would get before with a table fan blasting full speed into the side of my open PC case I had to do before this came.I am sure the temperatures would be higher if the M.2 was running at gen 5 speeds, but I highly doubt it would be much higher, not to mention 45°C is well within healthy operating temperatures, so its a huge win no matter how you look at it.If you're running a toasty 5th gen NVME and have the space for this heat sink, I highly recommend getting it! The installation was super easy and due to it being adjustable it should easily fit whether you have a single sided or double sided PCB M.2!By far my best purchase of 2025 so far!

Works great at keeping SSDs cool. I was seeing a 10 degree C difference vs a naked SSD. Would buy again. It is very tall however so likely won't work with some setups.
