Thermalright M.2 2280 TYPE A B SSD Cooler

Thermalright M.2 2280 TYPE A B is a compact cooler for M.2 SSD drives, designed specifically for the 2280 form factor. The idea is simple – stable temperatures and less thermal throttling under load, without dealing with complicated installation. It uses an aluminum radiator and includes a thermal pad, so you really only need a screwdriver and a free M.2 slot. The dimensions of 70 x 24 x 12 mm make it convenient for most motherboards and compact cases.

What you get

You get a cooler optimized for M.2 2280 SSDs, which dissipates heat through an aluminum alloy casing, rather than letting it accumulate directly on the chips. The included thermal pad ensures good contact between the SSD and the radiator, without needing to search for a separate thermal pad of the right thickness. Thanks to the low profile of 12 mm, the chance of it interfering with large GPUs or massive CPU coolers is minimal, which is important in more compact configurations. The gray color is neutral and fits easily into most builds without being visually intrusive. Ultimately, the goal is more stable SSD operation during long transfers, gaming, or working with large files.

• The cooler is specifically designed for M.2 2280 SSDs, ensuring good compatibility with the most popular form factor in modern machines.
• The casing is made of aluminum alloy, which provides better heat dissipation compared to a large metal label or plastic caps.
• The package includes a thermal pad, so you don’t have to buy separate thermal conductive material for installation.
• The compact dimensions 70 x 24 x 12 mm make it suitable for motherboards with closely spaced slots and for smaller cases.
• The color gray is universal and easily combines with black, silver, or minimalist builds.
• The type of cooling is specifically aimed at SSD drives, helping against overheating and potential throttling under prolonged load.
• It comes with a 12-month warranty, which is more than enough for this type of passive accessory.

Who it is suitable for

It is suitable for anyone running an M.2 2280 SSD under serious load – gaming, working on large projects, frequent transfers – and wants lower and stable temperatures. It is especially useful if your motherboard lacks its own M.2 radiators or if the factory one is inconvenient or unattractive. It is not particularly sensible for very light office machines where the SSD is hardly loaded.

The most sensible aspect of this model is the combination of aluminum construction, included thermal pad, and low profile – you get practical M.2 cooling without complications and without worrying about whether it will fit alongside the other hardware.
