P44 Pro Series 2TB...installation

Cheekytrucker — Fri, 24 May 2024 12:40:25 GMT

Hi,

Just doing my 1st build and have purchased a 2TB P44 Pro Series M2 ssd. My motherboard (Asus rog strix b650e-f) comes with heatsinks reinstalled with a thermal pad fitted.

My question is probably a stupid one.... The ssd has a slip of paper stuck over the top of the ssd chips.... Does this get peeled off before putting the heatsink on so that the thermal pad/paste sticks directly to the chips of does it stay in place so that the thermal pad sticks to it.

Many thanks

Hi James,

You should peel off the slip of paper from the top of the SSD chips before attaching the heatsink. This will ensure that the thermal pad makes direct contact with the chips, providing optimal heat dissipation.

Thank you🙂
