    Description

    Product Information
    What's this?
    The Alphacool Eisblock HDX-2 is a massive passive cooler for your M.2 SSD. The supplied PCIe card on which the cooler is mounted also offers the SSD the highest possible bandwidth of around 3900 MB / s.
    Highlights
    No more throttling of the SSD due to overheating
    Enormously large cooling surface for optimal cooling
    Theoretical bandwidth of around 3900 MB / s possible
    Optimal protection of your SSD by the cooler
    The Alphacool Eisblock HDX-2 cooler offers outstanding cooling for your M.2 SSD. With high, sustained data transfers, the performance of an M.2 SSD without cooling drops dramatically and can drop to up to 10% of the actual performance. When large amounts of data are transferred, the memory controller and the chips are very hot until a protective mechanism kicks in and the SSD's performance is severely throttled. This can be counteracted by actively cooling the SSD. After the M.2 HDX cooler for mainboards with M.2 slots, Alphacool offers the HDX-2, a massive passive cooler with a cooling surface that is many times larger than that of the HDX M.2 cooler.
    The M.2 SSD is screwed onto the supplied PCIe board and the cooler is mounted on it. The cooler consists of a large, passive aluminum heat sink that covers the entire M.2 SSD. As a result, the entire M.2 SSD is optimally cooled and a drop in performance due to excessively high temperatures is prevented. The PCIe board is inserted into a 4xPCIe slot and screwed to the housing. The data can be transferred at a speed of over 3900 MB / s. That's a lot more bandwidth than most SSDs can use. Compared to conventional SATA-SSD in 2.5 “format, this is an increase of 600%, because the maximum bandwidth for this connection is 640 MB / s. In combination with the cooler, the plug-in card can also offer significantly better transfer rates than mainboard slots. Often M.2 SSDs are only connected to mainboards with 2x PCIe, which corresponds to halving the maximum data transfer rate. In addition, it is difficult to cool an M.2 SSD on a mainboard properly, as the graphics card is usually mounted directly above or below it and the surrounding area naturally heats up strongly.
    With the Alphacool Eisblock HDX-2 you can avoid all of these factors and get the most out of your M.2 SSD.
