5. be quiet! MC1
The be quiet! MC1 M.2 SSD cooler provides efficient cooling for M.2 SSDs. M.2 SSDs can become very hot during demanding use, such as gaming. When this occurs, the read and write speeds of the SSDs can be drastically reduced to maintain system stability. Throttling should be avoided at all costs, as the very high read and write speeds are the main reason for purchasing an SSD. With the be quiet! MC1 M.2 SSD cooler, SSDs are cooled so efficiently that they can easily maintain their full read and write speeds over long periods of use. The black design gives the cooler a very high-quality appearance.
