TEAMGROUP has announced the T-FORCE SIREN GD120S SSD 120mm AIO cooler designed for M.2 2280 drives and featuring an ARGB PWM fan that can operate from 600-2200 RPM. The water block is made from aluminum alloy with a copper plate. A three-phase 4000 RPM water pump is located in the 120mm radiator and utilizes a porcelin axis which TEAMGROUP says enables efficient low-noise operation. TEAMGROUP’s testing has shown PCIe GEN5 SSD temperature improvements by up to 35% when using the T-FORCE SIREN GD120S. Temperatures for the PCIe GEN5 SSD were reported to be under 54°C during heavy load testing. TEAMGROUP has announced that the T-FORCE SIREN GD120S SSD comes with a 3-year warranty and will become available towards the end of December but has not revealed its price.
Press Release (via news page):
The SSD water block fits perfectly with M.2 2280 SSDs and provides superb cooling performance, enabling SSDs to maintain optimal low-temperatures and stable operation. Based on tests, the SIREN GD120 allows PCIe 5.0 SSDs to stay under 54°C even during heavy load【1】, providing global players with more diverse cooling solutions for M.2 SSD high temperatures.
The T-FORCE SIREN GD120S AIO SSD Cooler boasts excellent cooling performance by equipping the precision aluminum alloy dual-tube water blocks with double-layered thermal pads, which allow the SSD controller chip and IC to be tightly affixed to the copper base of the cooler. The pump utilizes a ceramic shaft design and three silent motors to achieve silent, highly efficient, and stable liquid cooling. Furthermore, the T-FORCE SIREN GD120S AIO SSD Cooler uses a 120mm radiator with 13 high-density aluminum fins to increase the cooling area, effectively removing the high temperatures generated by M.2 PCIe 5.0 SSDs. Its 12 cm ARGB PWM fan can also accurately adjust speeds based on system temperature to achieve optimal heat dissipation while saving energy and providing a customized lighting effect.
The T-FORCE SIREN GD120S AIO SSD Cooler demonstrates its powerful cooling function while caring for the earth and environmental sustainability. It is manufactured using environmentally friendly processes, RoHS compliant, and packaged with recyclable materials. The T-FORCE SIREN GD120S AIO SSD Cooler will first be available on Amazon in North America at the end of December. Please stay tuned to the latest news on TEAMGROUP’s official website and social media channels.

Join Discussion →Now we need a liquid cooler for an SSD? Either I'm getting old or this is getting to be ridiculous.
... or both; they're not exclusive. ;)
It makes sense with how fast SSDs are getting now, GPUs use to be passively cooled too at one point..... now look at them.
I was thinking that given how many PC cases now offer the ability to easily install a 120mm on the bottom of the case this could end up being a far better solution than the odd-looking active cooling fan/heatsinks we've been seeing over the last year or so.
Yep, I remember how many of us went through shock from passive to active cooling for GPUs, then 2-slot, 3-slot, and now 4-slot cards. There's always added costs for speed and power.
Okay I may have overreacted a bit now that I think about it.:LOL:
Man when AIO coolers started coming out for CPU's I was totally against it. Now i've been through two... lol.
Naw, I get it. I honestly feel the same way but don't see it changing unless something changes where they can get temps down while keeping the performance uptick on track.
I held off until around 3 years ago when I did the X570/3700K build and have gone off the deep end ever since.
I don't think I would mind the trend if we were seeing massive real world gains.
CPUs when they went to active cooling - huge real world gains. Same with GPUs.
SSDs.... umm.. yeah.. Benchmarks look better, but your real world performance? About the same ...
Negative, I can feel a difference upgrading SSDs on my main, it's the little things, overall responsiveness, things just act a little quicker and smoother, definitely can tell a difference.
You can tell a difference between a passive cooled NVME drive vs an active cooled one?
I think with the move to active being more of a need going forward generationally it's the same move as CPU's going from passive to active, and from GPU's going from passive to active. The performance is there but the need to remove heat comes with it.
Well, some people can tell the difference in 120Hz and 240Hz. I am not one of those. I’m not saying you can’t notice it or that it’s a placebo effect - I’m thinking the difference is not significant enough for my unattuned senses to notice it.
I haven’t been able to tell a meaningful difference in SSDs since maybe the third or fourth gen of SATA3 models. Maybe if I did side by side testing or upgraded computers more than about every 7 years… but my current PCI 4 nvme doesn’t feel like it boots any faster or loads any quicker than my old 4970k with a SATA3 Samsung in it. And having that same SATA3 drive installed in the new computer, I can’t tell the difference in game load times between the two.
Maybe if I got out a stop watch — like DirectStorage — a “25% speed increase” with load times going from 3.2 to 2.7 seconds …
I find this surprising honestly. I can tell a difference... going back to mass effect as an example. Original HDD version the NPC's could have banter on the elevators. Now... with my PCIe4 drive. They can barely get a line out.
