Heatsink EK Water Blocks Quantum Convection M.2 NVMe Aluminium Silver 24mm 75mm 11.3mm

The EK-Quantum Convection M.2 NVMe is a passive aluminum heatsink for M.2 NVMe SSDs. It is designed to reduce or prevent thermal throttling by improving heat dissipation in systems with sufficient airflow, and it provides a compact, low-profile aesthetic solution compatible with most 2280 M.2 NVMe drives. The heatsink is CNC-machined from high-grade aluminum with a satin silver anodized finish, and it includes an aluminum backplate with a black anodized finish.

Advantages

The heatsink offers a simple, low-profile design that is easy to install and reusable. Its flip-backplate mounting design enables installation on both single-sided and double-sided 2280 M.2 NVMe SSDs by realigning mounting holes to create extra space. Constructed from CNC-machined aluminum with a textured anodized surface, it provides improved thermal conduction and a neutral, non-intrusive appearance that fits most PC builds.

Suitable for

• Cooling single-sided 2280 M.2 NVMe SSDs
• Cooling double-sided 2280 M.2 NVMe SSDs (with backplate flipped)
• PC builds requiring a compact, low-profile SSD cooling solution

Key specifications

• Model: EK-Quantum Convection M.2 NVMe
• Material: CNC-machined aluminum (heatsink) and aluminum backplate
• Finish: Satin silver anodized (heatsink), black anodized (backplate)
• Compatible form factor: M.2 2280 (22 mm × 80 mm)
• Connector height compatibility: M.2 (NGFF) connectors with 4.2 mm height
• Tested capacity support: up to 4 TB
• Dimensions (approx.): width 24 mm, depth 75 mm, height 11.3 mm

How to use

Remove any existing thermal pads or coverings from the SSD mounting area, align the heatsink over the M.2 2280 SSD, and attach the backplate. If installing on a double-sided SSD, flip the backplate to the alternate hole alignment to increase clearance from the heatsink body. Fasten using the supplied screws and ensure the thermal interface is correctly seated between the SSD and heatsink. Reinstall the drive into the M.2 slot and verify there is adequate case airflow for optimal cooling performance.

Recommendations

Install the EK-Quantum Convection M.2 NVMe in systems with sufficient case airflow for best results; verify connector height (4.2 mm) and 2280 form factor compatibility before installation. Avoid overtightening screws and ensure the thermal pad is properly positioned to maintain contact between SSD and heatsink.
