Alphacool Intros Liquid Cooler and Riser Card for M.2 NVMe SSD

[btarunr]

NVMe SSDs in M.2 format have become standard PC equipment, as they allow high transfer rates and extremely low access times and thus enable faster and more effective work or gaming. Due to their design, however, M.2 NVMe SSDs are only capable of delivering their maximum performance for a short time. The controller chip heats up extremely quickly and begins to throttle the SSD's performance at an early stage. To ensure that the full performance of the memory can be used permanently, Alphacool now offers the Core M.2 NVMe PCIe 4.0 Liquid Cooler with digital aRGB illumination.

The Core M.2 NVMe PCIe 4.0 Liquid Cooler features 5 digitally addressable RGB LEDs that create a unique illumination. The LEDs can be connected to a digital RGB controller or a digital RGB capable mainboard and thus controlled as desired. The material mix of acrylic, nickel-plated copper and aluminium also gives the cooler a noble design.



Alphacool's Core M.2 NVMe PCIe 4.0 Liquid Cooler is a useful addition to any water cooled system and ensures that the M.2 NVMe SSD can unleash its full potential. Smart and efficient!

For PCI-e 5 SSDs I guess.

 

[ZoneDymo]

wasnt it a thing that you actualyl did not want to cool m.2 too much?

 

[AusWolf]

Who in their right mind spends a hundred bucks plus tooling just to cool an SSD (with RGB)?

For PCI-e 5 SSDs I guess.

Compatibility: M.2 NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD

For a single drive? Wow, that is overkill.

 

[thegnome]

Would've much rather seen one with 2 or more drives... Would be a fun thing to add in a large watercooled build and you need to fill up the space..

 

[Niceumemu]

I'm amazed there is enough of a market of suckers out there that would buy a riser card like this which can only support a single nvme drive - and only at 4.0 speeds too

 

[bonehead123]

Yep, just what we need, moar wires & tubes everywhere....1st was CPU's, then GPU's, now your drives.....

Might as well just submerge the entire mobo & all it's parts in coolant or LN2 and be done with it, hehehehe

yea I know this has been done already, albeit only in specialized set-ups in labs/tech shows etc, but just sayin......

 

[Gundem]

Now I've seen it all

You only want to cool the controller and not the flash module.

This would be a cool pump product... a PCIE pump housing for a ddc that has water temp sensors and controls that can stick into a pcie slot and communicate that way.

Alot of times the extra space below a gfx in an atx build is wasted space.

I don't need a device like that, but I like your way of thinking.

I like that thought... although that's why micro-ATX and mini-ITX exist.

 

[HairyLobsters]

For PCI-e 5 SSDs I guess.

But it's PCIe 4.

 

[Hxx]

Probably as useless as water cooling ram. Looking at you thermaltake . But hey it looks good and I’m sure someone is interested

I like the thinking and ideas behind it, especially if you don't have a motherboard-mounted M.2 slot.

I agree with the person who said to use the same empty PCI Express space for a small, compact pump/reservoir.

The biggest lesson I've learned about GPU cards, and slots lately. I will never buy a game card again. For some reason, I don't know why builders keep making the cards bigger. Sure there's heat and fans, but for now, I want my PCIe space back. I've learned that the EVGA 3090 is hard to come by - a great card, but with or without a water block. On the motherboard, I noticed that it takes up space. On my motherboard with 7 slots, 2 for the 3090 and 2 open (one between the 3090 and the last slot). Personally, it's a broken use of space.

So professional cards only, with professional water blocks.
