Description
Very simple spacer to use a 2230 M.2 card in a heat sink and motherboard that holds a 2280 card. The Arctic M2 Pro heat sink reduced the temperature of the card from 65-75 C down to 50-55 C during heavy write tasks. This is only a spacer, without the heat sink it would fall apart. An adapter that holds the card wouldn't work because they are too wide and too tall to fit. The spacer is the same thickness as the card so the thermal pads hold it in place.
