Alphacool Offers Eisblock HDX 2 and HDX 3 M.2 SSD Coolers

Alphacool Offers Eisblock HDX 2 and HDX 3 M.2 SSD Coolers

Alphacool is now expanding its product range with the Eisblock HDX-2 and HDX-3 coolers. Both coolers come with a 4x PCIe card, on which the cooler and SSD are mounted. Cooling can be difficult on a motherboard due to space constraints and the location of the graphics card, which is often mounted directly above or beside the motherboard.

A PCIe card and cooler give you lots of room to set up a good cooling solution. But why do you need to cool your M.2 SSD? When an M.2 SSD is used continuously and for substantial data transfers, it can heat up so strongly that the drive slows itself down and decreases its performance significantly. This can happen after even a few seconds. The only way to solve this problem is with a good cooling solution.

Another advantage is the included 4x PCIe cards, which provide the SSD with a maximum data transfer rate of around 3900 MB/s. 2.5" SSDs are limited to around 640 MB/s over a SATA connection, and many M.2 interfaces on motherboards are only connected to 2x PCIe - half the bandwidth of the HDX-2 and HDX-3 card. 

The HDX-3 water block is a complete cooler that can easily be connected to any cooling loop with its G1/4" connectors. The water block itself is made of nickel-plated copper, and the lid is made of a single acetal block. Water flows over the entire SSD and ensures outstanding cooling performance. 
With its massive aluminium radiator block and backplate, the HDX-2 cooler offers a large cooling surface for dissipating heat. The thick cooling fins give the Eisblock HDX-2 cooler a classic massive-yet-elegant design.

The coolers come with thermal pads for one-sided and double-sided M.2 SSDs, making both coolers compatible with all M.2 PCIe SSDs.
