If, like most gamers and hardware enthusiasts, you never thought you'd actually need to cool down your NVMe format SSD, you're right! You don't. But if you did want to, perhaps to offer some modicum of life extension to the device, or because your system gets supernaturally hot, then CryoRig's new Frostbit, dual-heatpipe cooler for M.2 SSDs will be right up your street.
Calling it the "industry's first dual heatpipe M.2 cooler," the Frostbit is an aluminum heatspreader which has the ability to be expanded with a pair of copper heatpipes that lead to another set of aluminum fins for added heat dissipation. Considering the small form-factor of M.2 SSDs, CryoRig has made a point of making the angle of the heatpipes adjustable, so that it can be angled away from large graphics cards or CPU heatsinks -- whichever happens to get in the way.
The specifications for the cooler are as follows:
- Dimension: L72 mm x W26.3 mm x H57 mm
- Weight: 56 g
- Heat pipes: 6mm heatpipe x 1+1 units
- Fin: T = 0.4 mm ; Gap = 2.4 mm
- Fin Pcs: 19 x 2 = 38 pcs
- TDP: 12 W
No pricing or availability details for the CryoRig Frostbit has yet been released, but we expect them to be debuted sometime next month, as per Hexus.
