M.2 NVMe 2280 SSD Heatsink for PS5 GrauGear G-PS5HS03+ – 2280 M.2 NVMe compatible cooling solution

GrauGear G-PS5HS03+ is a passive heatsink engineered for M.2 NVMe 2280 SSDs intended for PlayStation 5 storage expansion. The accessory is sized to fit a single 2280 M.2 NVMe module and provides a thermal conduction path to dissipate heat generated during extended gaming sessions and heavy data transfers. Designed for compatibility with PS5 expansion bay dimensions, this cooling solution helps maintain more consistent drive temperatures and reduce the risk of thermal throttling when an aftermarket M.2 NVMe SSD is installed.

Advantages

The GrauGear heatsink improves heat dissipation using a direct-contact design that increases the SSD surface area exposed to airflow inside the PS5 enclosure. It is engineered to match the 2280 M.2 form factor so installation is straightforward when replacing or upgrading the PS5 storage. By lowering operating temperatures under sustained load, the heatsink contributes to steadier performance and longer thermal stability for NVMe drives without adding active fans or power draw.

Suitable for

• PlayStation 5 users installing a single M.2 NVMe 2280 SSD in the console expansion slot
• Gamers wanting to reduce thermal throttling during long play sessions
• Users performing large file transfers, game installs, or content creation workflows on an upgraded PS5

Key specifications

• Form factor compatibility: M.2 2280 NVMe SSD (single module)
• Cooling type: passive heatsink for inside-console use
• Material: metal thermal conduction body (designed for direct contact with SSD)
• Physical fit: sized for PlayStation 5 expansion bay clearance
• Installation: screw-mounted to single M.2 2280 module (fits standard mounting point)

How to use

Turn off and unplug the PlayStation 5 before beginning installation. Open the PS5 expansion bay cover and remove the existing M.2 mounting screw. Place the M.2 NVMe 2280 SSD into the slot, position the GrauGear G-PS5HS03+ heatsink onto the SSD surface following the supplied alignment guidance, and secure the assembly using the PS5 mounting point and screw. Ensure the heatsink does not interfere with the console cover or internal clearance. After installation, close the expansion bay cover and power on the PS5 to verify drive detection and normal operation.

Usage recommendations

Verify that the chosen M.2 NVMe 2280 SSD is supported by PS5 firmware and that the heatsink assembly fits within the console’s expansion bay clearance before completing installation. Periodically inspect the heatsink for dust accumulation and clean gently with compressed air to maintain optimal thermal performance.
