Overheating of M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD
We all like M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD because it brings faster speeds. Most of M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD is PCIe 3.0 X4 (32Gbps speed at max) or PCIe 4.0 X4 ( 64Gbps speed at max). In addition, the size of the M.2 SSD is compact, most are 22x80mm.
Faster speed and compact SSD, but easily reach temperatures in excess of 80°C (the intended operating range for most NVMe SSDs is between 0°C and 70°C).
Many tests have proven that long-term overheating has adverse effects on performance, data integrity, and longevity of M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD.
How to design a reasonable cooling solution?
Why M.2 Thermal Pad?
We know that common heat dissipation schemes include metal heat conduction, fan cooling, and water cooling. But all cooling solutions require an intermediate medium, which can quickly conduct heat to the cooling equipment.
The thermal pad is the ideal medium for features: electrical insulation,wear-resistant, anti-static, fire retardant, buffering, no toxic, odorless, no corrosion, no stimulation, no damage to metal materials, 4KV breakdown voltage, wide use of temperature, in -40 -200 range does not melt.
Even if the surface of M.2 SSD is not flat, M.2 silicone thermal pad (20x76mm area) can cover the entire surface and cover closely all the heating electronic components.
Silicone thermal pad absorbs most of the heat, and quickly conducts to the heat sink. Heat is quickly dissipated.
