SETTING THE HEATSINK CONFIGURATION

The Aluminum Cover has two alignments of holes. The ﬁrst hole

alignment is dedicated for installing the Single-Sided M.2 SSDs,

which means all the storage and controller electronics are placed

on one side of the drive PCB. The heatsink comes out of the box in

the same conﬁguration. The second hole alignment conﬁguration

provides additional clearance for Two-Sided M.2 SSDs, which have

chips on both sides of the PCB. This conﬁguration can be achieved

by ﬂipping the backplate and aligning the backplate with the second

position of the threaded holes as shown in the picture below.

STEP 2

CUTTING AND PLACING THERMAL PADS

Your M.2 NMVe Heatsink came with more than an adequate amount

of thermal pads.

CAUTION: You must remove the protective foil from both

sides of the thermal pad before installation.

Thermal Pad G 1.0 mm – (120 x 24 mm) EAN: 3830046996770

Thermal Pad G 0.5 mm – (120 x 24 mm) EAN: 3830046996763

EK recommends cutting the provided thermal pads to the size most

optimal for M.2 NVMe drive coverage. The size shown below is most

commonly used, but we recommend cutting it in size to cover all the

storage and controller electronics on your M.2 NVMe SSD drive.

FIRST CONFIGURATION THERMAL PAD SELECTION AND PLACEMENT

STEP 1

The first hole alignment configuration is dedicated for M.2

drives with 500 GB storage and 1 TB storage. The picture below

represents the thermal pad selection approved by EK testing

on Firecuda 530 SSD drives. The use of thermal pad thickness

may variate for each M.2 SSD drive manufacturer as we cannot

guarantee the same height of chips on each. Check for proper

thermal pad contact once the heatsink is assembled. EK provided

you with two (2) thermal pads - 0.5 mm thickness and two (2)

thermal pads - 1 mm thickness so you can easily choose between

the most optimal thickness for your drive.

Picture for reference: Installing the Firecuda 530 SSD - 1 TB.

STEP 2

Once installed together, secure the backplate onto the front cover

with previously removed four (4) M2x4 screws. We recommend

tightening them in order as shown in the picture.

Please pay attention to hole alignment on both sides of the

heatsink!

SECOND CONFIGURATION THERMAL PAD SELECTION AND PLACEMENT

STEP 1

The second hole alignment configuration is dedicated for M.2

drives with 2 TB storage and 4 TB storage. The picture below

represents the thermal pad selection approved by EK testing

on Firecuda 530 SSD drives. The use of thermal pad thickness

may variate for each M.2 SSD drive manufacturer as we cannot

guarantee the same height of chips on each. Check for proper

thermal pad contact once the heatsink is assembled. EK provided

you with two (2) thermal pads - 0.5 mm thickness and two (2)

thermal pads - 1 mm thickness so you can easily choose between

the most optimal thickness for your drive.
