THERMAL PAD G 
1.0 mm

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!
