...there is a way? What possible application/need would make this necessary/feasible? Sure, my M.2 drives run hot, especially when doing continuous I/O for prolonged periods, but... Maybe I'm just inexperienced. (:

Edit: the link might appear... Fishy? So I added an image.

A heatsink will be helpful if you have room for one. A giant heatsink with a fan and heat pipes is overkill though. Even enterprise SSDs don't go that far. They just have a plain aluminum heatsink that gets cooled by the case fans.

Yeah, that's what's one mine. A plain fanless heatsink.

Active ssd cooling is probably overkill but they can certainly throttle down to barely working speeds if they aren’t properly cooled. I could see there being scenarios where something like this is beneficial.

SSD waterblocks are also a thing

That looks really cool. Pun intended.

I was having a hard time getting out of bed, but this made me laugh and woke me up in an instant. I mean... Sure. Why not. XD
