GELID Solutions has launched the ICECAP Pro M.2 SSD cooler which is designed to fit all M.2 Type 2280 SSDs and provide heat dissipation for the SSD and its memory ICs to ensure optimal performance and speeds. At $16.00 the cooler features a 12,000 RPM 12V fan that is listed with a noise level of 18.2 dBA so it could conceivably be unnoticeable in certain builds. Fan dimensions are 20 x 20 x 6 mm.
The kit also includes 2x 0.5mm, and 1x 1.00mm thermal pads. The aluminum heatsink dimensions are 73 x 24 x 16.6 mm with a high-performance heat pipe for direct contact heat dissipation. GELID provides a 2-year warranty for the ICECAP PRO and it weighs 56g.
