ELUTENG M.2 Heatsink User Manual

1. تعارف

This manual provides detailed instructions for the installation, operation, and maintenance of your ELUTENG M.2 Heatsink sets. These heatsinks are designed to improve the thermal performance of M.2 2280 SSDs, including NVMe and SATA variants, by dissipating heat efficiently and maintaining optimal operating temperatures.

Proper installation and care will ensure the longevity and effectiveness of your SSD and the heatsink. Please read this manual thoroughly before proceeding with installation.

2. حفاظت جي ڄاڻ

• ڪنهن به جزو کي انسٽال ڪرڻ يا هٽائڻ کان اڳ هميشه پنهنجي ڪمپيوٽر مان بجلي بند ڪريو.
• Handle SSDs and heatsinks with care to avoid damage to sensitive electronic components.
• Ensure proper grounding to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) which can damage electronic parts.
• Keep small parts, such as screws and thermal pads, out of reach of children.
• Do not modify the heatsink or use it for purposes other than its intended design.

4. سيٽ اپ ۽ تنصيب

The ELUTENG M.2 Heatsink offers two installation methods: screw-fixing and rubber-band-fixing. Choose the method that best suits your M.2 SSD and system configuration.

1. پنهنجي ڪمپيوٽر کي بند ڪريو ۽ سڀئي پاور ڪيبل ڪٽي ڇڏيو.
2. Open your computer case to access the motherboard and M.2 slot.
3. Carefully remove your M.2 SSD from its slot if it is already installed.
4. Use the provided cleaning wipes (wet then dry) to clean the surface of your M.2 SSD's controller and NAND chips where the thermal pad will make contact. Ensure the heatsink surfaces are also clean.

4.2. Installation Method 1: Screw Fixing

This method provides a secure and robust attachment for optimal heat transfer, especially for double-sided M.2 SSDs.

1. Select the appropriate thermal pads. For the screw-fixing heatsink, you will typically use one thicker pad for the top of the SSD and a thinner pad for the bottom plate if your SSD is double-sided. If your SSD is single-sided, you may only need the top pad.
2. Peel off the protective film from one side of the thermal pad and carefully place it onto the top surface of your M.2 SSD, covering the controller and memory chips.
3. If using the bottom plate, peel off the protective film from another thermal pad and place it onto the inside surface of the bottom heatsink plate.
4. Align the top heatsink piece over the SSD with the thermal pad.
5. Place the SSD with the top heatsink piece onto the bottom heatsink plate, ensuring the thermal pads are correctly positioned and the SSD is centered.
6. Carefully align the screw holes on the top and bottom heatsink pieces. Insert and tighten the provided screws using the screwdriver. Do not overtighten.
7. Once assembled, insert the M.2 SSD with the attached heatsink into the M.2 slot on your motherboard. Secure it with the motherboard's M.2 standoff screw.

4.3. Installation Method 2: Rubber Band Fixing

This method is simpler and suitable for single-sided M.2 SSDs or where space is limited.

1. Select a thermal pad. Peel off the protective film from one side of the thermal pad and carefully place it onto the top surface of your M.2 SSD, covering the controller and memory chips.
2. Place the rubber-band-fixing heatsink (the grooved aluminum block) directly on top of the thermal pad, ensuring it is centered over the SSD.
3. Use the provided rubber rings to secure the heatsink to the M.2 SSD. Loop the rubber rings around both ends of the heatsink and the SSD, ensuring a snug fit that applies gentle pressure.
4. Once assembled, insert the M.2 SSD with the attached heatsink into the M.2 slot on your motherboard. Secure it with the motherboard's M.2 standoff screw.

5. آپريٽنگ اصول

The ELUTENG M.2 Heatsink functions by transferring heat generated by the M.2 SSD's controller and NAND flash memory to the aluminum heatsink via the thermal pads. The aluminum heatsink, with its grooved design, increases the surface area exposed to airflow, allowing for efficient heat dissipation into the surrounding environment.

This process helps to maintain the SSD at a lower operating temperature, which is crucial for preventing thermal throttling and ensuring consistent performance and extended lifespan of the drive. The high-coefficient thermal pads are designed to improve thermal conductivity over time with continued use.

6. سار سنڀال

The ELUTENG M.2 Heatsink requires minimal maintenance. Follow these guidelines to ensure its continued effectiveness:

• مٽي هٽائڻ: Periodically inspect the heatsink for dust accumulation. Use compressed air or a soft brush to gently remove any dust from the fins of the heatsink. Excessive dust can impede airflow and reduce cooling efficiency.
• Thermal Pad Integrity: The thermal pads are designed for long-term use. However, if you frequently remove and re-install the heatsink, or if you notice a significant increase in SSD temperatures, inspect the thermal pads for wear or damage. Replace them if necessary.
• جسماني معائنو: Ensure the heatsink remains securely attached to the SSD. For screw-fixed heatsinks, check that screws are snug. For rubber-band-fixed heatsinks, ensure the rubber bands are not degraded or loose.
