3. Producteigenschappen

Koperen warmtebuis: Utilizes Direct Heat Touch (DHT) technology with pure copper heat pipes for maximum thermal conductivity and efficient heat transfer from the M.2 SSD.
PWM Cooling Fan: Features a 25mm active PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) fan, allowing for adjustable speed control to balance cooling performance and noise levels.
Hoge prestaties: Designed to reduce M.2 SSD temperatures by up to 60%, preventing thermal throttling and maintaining consistent drive performance.
M.2 2280 SSD Compatibility: Specifically compatible with single-sided M.2 2280 form factor SSDs (NVMe & SATA).
High-Density Aluminum Fins: The heatsink incorporates numerous aluminum fins to increase the surface area for heat dissipation, working in conjunction with the copper heat pipes.

4. Installatiehandleiding

Follow these steps to install the GRAUGEAR M.2 2280 SSD Heatsink:

Prepare your M.2 SSD: Ensure your M.2 2280 SSD is clean and free of dust or debris.
Thermische pads aanbrengen: Carefully peel the protective films from both sides of the thermal pads. Place one thermal pad on the top surface of your M.2 SSD (the side with chips) and another on the bottom surface if applicable, ensuring full coverage. Note: The package includes multiple thermal pads of varying thicknesses. Use the appropriate thickness to ensure good contact without excessive pressure. Generally, a thicker pad is used on the bottom if there's a gap, and a thinner one on top.
Position the Heatsink: Place the M.2 SSD with thermal pads onto the heatsink's base, aligning it so the heat pipes make direct contact with the thermal pad on the SSD.
Secure the Heatsink: Use the provided screws and screwdriver to secure the heatsink assembly to your motherboard's M.2 slot. Ensure the heatsink is firmly attached but do not overtighten the screws.
Sluit de ventilator aan: Locate a 4-pin PWM fan header on your motherboard (often labeled SYS_FAN or similar). Connect the heatsink's 4-pin fan cable to this header. This allows your motherboard to control the fan speed based on temperature.

5. Bediening

Once installed, the GRAUGEAR M.2 2280 SSD Heatsink operates automatically. The PWM fan's speed is controlled by your motherboard based on the temperature of the M.2 SSD, ensuring efficient cooling when needed and quieter operation during lighter loads. You can typically monitor your SSD's temperature through your operating system's utilities or motherboard's BIOS/UEFI software.

6. Onderhoud

To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your heatsink, periodic maintenance is recommended:

Stofverwijdering: Over time, dust may accumulate on the fan blades and heatsink fins, reducing cooling efficiency. Use compressed air or a soft brush to gently clean the fan and fins every 6-12 months, or as needed.
Thermal Pad Inspection: If you notice a significant increase in SSD temperatures, inspect the thermal pads for degradation or improper contact. Replace them if necessary.

7. Probleemoplossing

If you encounter issues with your GRAUGEAR M.2 2280 SSD Heatsink, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

Probleem	Mogelijke oorzaak	Oplossing
High SSD Temperatures	Improper thermal pad contact De ventilator draait niet of draait te langzaam. Overmatige stofophoping Incorrect BIOS fan settings	Re-install heatsink, ensuring thermal pads make firm contact. Check fan cable connection to motherboard. Clean fan and heatsink fins. Adjust fan curve in motherboard BIOS/UEFI to a more aggressive setting.
Ventilatorgeluid	Fan spinning at high RPM Dust buildup on fan blades Fan defect	Adjust fan curve in motherboard BIOS/UEFI to a quieter setting (if temperatures allow). Maak de ventilatorbladen schoon. Contact GRAUGEAR support if noise persists after cleaning and adjusting.
Heatsink does not fit	Incorrect M.2 SSD size Clearance issues with other components (e.g., GPU)	Ensure your SSD is an M.2 2280 form factor. Verify motherboard layout and component clearance before purchase.
