be quiet! MC1 (BZ002)

The be quiet! MC1 (BZ002) is a compact heatsink designed for cooling M.2 SSDs in the M.2 2280 form factor. It is intended for systems where the drive operates under heavy loads and risks thermal throttling that reduces read and write speeds. The be quiet! MC1 (BZ002) works to lower SSD temperatures, allowing the drive to maintain peak performance for extended periods without premature throttling. The cooler is compatible with both single-sided and double-sided M.2 2280 modules, making it suitable for a wide range of NVMe SSDs and PlayStation 5 upgrade scenarios, where form factor and thermal management are critical. Measuring 74 × 24 × 10 mm, the be quiet! MC1 (BZ002) fits into most standard M.2 slots with minimal impact on compatibility with neighboring components, though actual clearance depends on your specific motherboard or console layout. The package includes a mounting screw for hassle-free installation without requiring additional tools. The be quiet! MC1 (BZ002) focuses on performance rather than aesthetics, delivering straightforward passive cooling in a compact design with no fans, cables, or additional power requirements. The be quiet! MC1 (BZ002) is well-suited for both workstation and gaming builds where NVMe drives regularly handle large files, gaming loads, or sustained data transfers.
