Let’s start with the G-M2HP04-F The cooler, which weighs 95 grams after all, with a fin block and two 5-mm heatpipes not only looks massive, but it is. Unfortunately, the size specifications in the data sheet are not correct, so I measured. At 85 mm long, it doesn’t even tower over the SSD in length, and the width isn’t much bigger than the SSD itself at 25 mm. On the other hand, the height of 54 mm for the cooler is really lush and you have to be careful not to collide with the graphics card if it is thicker and there are not enough slots in between. So it doesn’t hurt to measure beforehand.
The accessories are quite generous, because you not only get the cooler including the U-frame for mounting the SSD, but also a small screwdriver for the four included mounting screws. In addition, there are quite good thermal pads with 0.5 mm (heatsink) and 1 mm thickness (U-frame) in duplicate, as well as a small paper booklet and the screw for the M.2 slot. This is sufficient and more than meager.
The 25mm fan (10mm thick) is PWM controlled and has the usual 4-pin connector on a cable about 50cm long, thank goodness. Connecting it directly to 12 volts provokes the maximum speeds of over 8500 rpm, which is not only annoying, but completely unnecessary. Below approx. 5000 rpm you don’t hear it at all and from approx. 5600 rpm an increase in rpm doesn’t bring any temperature improvements either! That’s exactly why I let it run at the fixed 5600 rpm via the mainboard (UEFI).
The ground 5 mm heatpipes made of copper composite material are perfectly pressed into the blackened heatsink made of extruded aluminum profile and then do exactly what they are supposed to do, which is to dissipate the heat to the vertical fins as well. This works quite well in practice, as we will see in a moment. Apart from that, there is nothing to criticize about the workmanship, because even the thin sheet of the U-frame is cleanly deburred. Nevertheless, you should not use it to test from which pressure you could scratch your fingertips. That would be quite possible.
The installation is done quickly and the pads also stick easily and help to fix the SSD well. The selected hardness is optimal, which takes some of the pressure off the NAND modules soldered without underfill. The thermal conductivity (especially of the blue pad) is also okay, which will be seen later in the cooling results. I see no reason to replace these pads with better Fujipoly pads here. When installing, you can remain flexible in terms of the direction of the fan and heatpipes. It fits in all directions.
For the curious still the data sheet, but beware of the dimensions!
