All-Aluminum M.2 NVMe SSD Heatsink | SSD-V3 2280 Cooler
Keep Your M.2 NVMe SSD Cool & Running at Peak Performance
The SSD-V3 All-Aluminum M.2 NVMe SSD Heatsink is an ultra-efficient thermal cooling solution engineered for gamers, PC builders, and power users who demand the best from their solid-state drives. Featuring a precision-crafted magnesium-aluminum alloy body with a grid-fin design, this heatsink dramatically improves thermal dissipation — reducing drive temperatures by as much as 10°C–30°C under heavy loads.
Made in Mainland China.
Why You'll Love It
- 50× Greater Surface Area: The open grid-fin design exposes up to 50 times more surface area than standard flat heatsinks, maximizing airflow and accelerating heat transfer away from your SSD.
- All-Aluminum Construction: Crafted from lightweight yet rigid magnesium-aluminum alloy, this heatsink is both durable and scratch-resistant — providing physical protection as well as superior thermal management.
- Dual High-Conductivity Thermal Pads Included: Two soft, high-conductivity thermal compound pads are included to fill contact gaps between the heatsink base and your SSD chips — maximizing thermal conductivity without damaging delicate components.
- Tool-Free, Screw-Fixed Install: A screw-fixed frame design means everything you need is in the box. Installation is quick and straightforward — no extra tools or accessories required.
- Wide Compatibility: Supports all M.2 2280 NVMe SSDs (including the Samsung 980 EVO series and other NGFF SATA SSDs), so compatibility worries are a thing of the past.
- Low Profile Fit: Installed width of just 23.5 mm / 1" and height of approximately 32 mm / 1.3" — designed to coexist with most CPU coolers and graphics cards. Always verify your motherboard has adequate clearance before installing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which M.2 SSD types are compatible with the SSD-V3 NVMe heatsink?
A: The SSD-V3 heatsink is compatible with all M.2 2280 form-factor drives, including NVMe SSDs and NGFF SATA SSDs. It works particularly well with high-performance drives like the Samsung 980 EVO series that generate significant heat during sustained workloads.
Q: How much can the SSD-V3 heatsink reduce my drive's operating temperature?
A: Under normal operating conditions, the SSD-V3 can lower drive temperatures by approximately 10°C–30°C compared to running without a heatsink, thanks to its grid-fin design that offers up to 50× the surface area of traditional flat heatsinks and the included high-conductivity thermal pads.
Q: Will this heatsink fit on my motherboard without interfering with my CPU cooler or GPU?
A: The installed profile measures approximately 23.5 mm wide and 32 mm tall, which is low enough to coexist with most CPU coolers and graphics cards. However, motherboard layouts vary — we recommend measuring your available M.2 slot clearance before installation to confirm fitment.
Q: Is installation difficult, and do I need extra tools or parts?
A: Not at all. The SSD-V3 uses a screw-fixed frame and comes complete with all necessary hardware, including two thermal pads and mounting screws. Simply apply the thermal pads to the SSD chips and back, position the heatsink, and tighten the screws — no additional tools or accessories needed.
