The Cryorig Frostbit M.2 NVMe heatsink is now on sale. The heatsink stands out for having a fairly eccentric design, but they assure that it works very well to improve temperatures.

Cryorig Frostbit M.2 NVMe is hitting stores in September

After being announced at Computex 2018, this SSD heatsink is now available in Japan through suppliers Links International (through PC Watch), and, pending a restocking, also in Australia. PC Case Gear has the Frostbit available for A $ 39 with an ETA dated September 20. Possibly it also reaches European territory on these dates or before the end of the year.

The Frostbit is rated at 12W TDP and is suitable for most M.2 SSD drives up to 72mm in length. It has two heatpipes, an ultra-thin copper tube directly above the M.2, and a much larger one. The aluminum that hangs above the M.2 has a hinge and can be tilted to one side or the other so it doesn't bother with other components inside the PC.

The question is whether a heatsink for an SSD is really necessary. We know that these units can generate a lot of heat, although not at the level of requiring a fairly robust heatsink of this style. However, depending on the case, this could be useful if the SSD is in a compromised position where it receives a lot of heat, especially if we have an air CPU cooler.

This launch occurs at a delicate moment for the Cryroig company, which is compromised by the trade war between the United States and China.
