be quiet! MC1 Pro | M.2 SSD Heatsink for Thermal Throttling Control

The be quiet! MC1 PRO Solid-state drive Heatsink/Radiator Black 1 pc(s) is engineered to cool M.2 NVMe modules effectively. This cooler targets UK builders experiencing high drive temperatures. Its core USP is enabling sustained maximum read/write speeds for single and double-sided M.2 2280 SSDs. By reducing thermal throttling, it maintains system responsiveness during heavy transfers. The all-black aluminium construction integrates cleanly into any case layout.

Slim Technical Specifications

Passive Thermal Management

This cooler relies on a solid aluminium heatsink rather than active fans. In practice, this eliminates fan noise and potential mechanical failure points. The design focuses on surface area to dissipate heat from the SSD controller and memory chips. Consequently, it suits silent PC builds where acoustic performance is critical.

Universal M.2 2280 Fitment

The MC1 Pro supports standard M.2 2280 modules commonly used in desktops and workstations. It accommodates both single-sided and double-sided NAND designs. However, it does not support processor sockets or specific CPU series. You must verify your motherboard’s M.2 slot clearance before installation.

Tool-Free Installation & Accessories

The package includes the heatsink and four mounting screws for secure attachment. A manual is provided to guide the fitting process. Because no thermal paste is mentioned, verify if the SSD manufacturer supplies a thermal pad. Ensure you have the correct screwdriver size for your chassis and motherboard standoffs.
