GELID Offers SubZero M.2 XL - High-Performance Cooling Kit for M.2 SSDs

GELID Offers SubZero M.2 XL - High-Performance Cooling Kit for M.2 SSDs

The SubZero M.2 XL is designed to cool down the M.2 Type 22110 SSD efficiently and prevents thermal throttling. It helps to improve performance, increase durability and enhance data integrity of the M.2 solid-state drives.

The SubZero M.2 XL uses the ultra-slim aluminium heatsink and the specially crafted thermal pads to deliver the best heat transfer and maintain significantly lowered operating temperatures for memory ICs and other electronic components of the M.2 Type SSD. Additionally, the set of 3 ultra-durable silicone ring fixtures is supplied with the SubZero M.2 XL to ensure safe mounting of the heatsink. The SubZero M.2 XL features quick installation and fits all standard M.2 Type 22110 SSD designed for laptops or desktops.

Thermal Throttling is a technique whereby the frequency of an IC can be automatically adjusted to reduce the amount of heat generated by the IC. Normally, the SSD electronic components operate within the standard temperature range at full speed. But in case of high workloads -running the apps such as computer games, audio visual processing or other data-intensive computing -an excessive heat can be generated by the SSD controller and memory ICs due to a high number of read/write operations and high data output. To cool down the SSD, an automatic duty cycle is applied, the effective SSD frequency becomes lower, and the operating temperature gradually comes into the normal range. For this cycle, performance of the SSD degrades until it runs cooler.

Some laptops may also have poor cooling inside the M.2 cabinet. In that case, a sequential activation of thermal throttling may occur, resulting in continuous underperformance of the M.2 SSD. The SubZero M.2 XL significantly improves cooling of the M.2 Type 22110 SSD. Therefore, operating temperature of the supported SSD becomes much lower. The SubZero M.2 XL helps to maintain temperature within the normal range under any workload and prevents thermal throttling from activation.

Since I don't have an M2 yet, do they need this? Or rather go straight for NVME / PCIe SSDs these days?

One can only smile when reads SubZero on a cooler package, anticipating some liquid nitrogen, only to find a good old aluminium heatsink.

Using Samsung 950 PRO for 4 years now, and not a single time I noticed any need to cool it at all.
You can't possibly reach the point where nvme ssd starts to throttle due to temperature unless you're stressing it on purpose (heavy reads + writes at the same time) or isolate it from any air flow.
Even if thermal throttling is the case you can simply get a cheap small heatsink from nearest electronics store and glue it on with thermal adhesive.

this looks like the aliexpress "copper" cooler I bought, there were cheaper aluminimum ones for like 2$
I have tested air cooling with a side window (before that dumb glass panel trend which I succumbed too) - aliexpress heatsink - asrock taichi ultimate motherboard cover/heatsink
and in surprisingly (or not) motherboard cover > air cooling > aftermarket heatsink (even with a fan blowing directly on it)
if your motherboard already has covers don't bother they should work better or as well as those aftermarket heatsinks

edit1 :
didn't read they marketed that for laptops, what ? how big is it ? not like there's space for a heatsink in a laptop ? and with no airflow where would the heat go ?
edit2 : my aliexpress one had a dual-sided tape thermal thing it held in place well fyi I had to use a heatgun to remove it
edit3 : wow ali even has an oled display heatsink O_O now that would be interesting for the people that want displays in their show PC, google : FBM2TZ-01

The 970 Evo+ I have reached up to 89C during either benchmarks or if I gave it a job while gaming. Not on the NAND, but on the controller. Fixed it with one of these heatsinks.
