M.2 Copper Heatsinks Cooler for M.2 2280 SSD Laptop?2 Pack?...

The rubber bands are very delicate and will split due to the rough edges on the copper plate. Fortunately, extra bands are provided. Recommend that the copper plate edges be polished before installation to lessen the possibility of damaging the bands.

Easy to install & low profile

Appears to work well in my XPS 15

Copper is sharp, instantly slices rubber bands.

Hp Omen dc-15xxx and the boot drive is a 512gb SSD M.2,. I replaced it with a 1TB Samsung EVO 970 Plus, which ran very hot. Idled at 57C, any use took it over 65C. Samsung Magician reported it as "too hot". Bought this. If you have an HP Omen dc-15xxx and 2ant to pop in the 3VO 970 Plus, this is fantastic: - Replaced the thermal pad that came with the HP for the 1mm one in this kit. Leave the warranty sticker on the EVO in place. Also make sure you remove the top layer of plastic from the pad after sticking it down to the platform, exposing the pad to the SSD when you reslot the new one - Gently remove the sticker on back covering the thin useless copper "heat sink sticker". Then GENTLY remove the copper sticker. It's easy, just don't use a knife or the like, use your fingernail, plastic spudger, etc. - Peel the clear cellophane off the side of the copper heatsink from the kit. - (here's where you want to spend $6-7 extra). Use a bit of Polyimide tape (1/8"-1/4" wide) to attach the copper heat sink to the back of the EVO. It can be purchased here on ZeeBooth, it's a VERY thin heat resistant tape. INSTEAD of using the rubber bands, make 2-3 wraps of the tape around each end, and same in the middle, thereby attaching the copper sink from this kit to the back of your EVO. I don't trust the rubber bands, they don't fit very well and the Omen has a surface the SSD presses onto (with the therm pad), so the bands only fit around the very outer edges (poorly), and no way to secure the middle. You don't want to make sure a heat sink sits very flush on the board/chip it's protecting or it's useless. The tape allows a VERY secure fit, and by doing a few wraps at each end AND the middle, it secures VERY well and it's so thin, the pad will touch the EVO completely when reslotted. Now go ahead and insert the SSD, close it up, and do your thing. My EVO 970 Plus now idles at 45C, and will NOT go over 57C no matter how hard I push it. That's results!! Sorry for the long tutorial, but there is scarce little info on the HP Omen and how these EVO 970 Plus work in them, so I figured I'd share the success in case it helps anyone else. TL/DR: This kit worked wonders on the heat dissipation in a tight space with poor airflow, especially with a VERY hot running SSD like the EVO 970 Plus. Get some Polyimide thermal tape and dump the rubber bands, instead wrapping 2-3 tight wraps at each end and one in the middle to hold the copper heat sink tightly to the SSD. Perhaps the kit should include a small 1/8" x 6" roll, but it's cheap enough to buy as an extra to do the job correctly when the bands won't work.
