ASRock FAN M.2 SINK TYPE-2 motherboard accessory

Active M.2 Heatsink for PCIe 5.0 Boards

This ASRock accessory adds a compact fan and heatsink assembly to motherboards equipped with PCIe 5.0 M.2 slots. It targets builders who want sustained throughput from high-speed solid-state storage without thermal throttling. The kit mounts directly onto the board's M.2 connector area. It is not suited for systems lacking a compatible ASRock motherboard header.

Thermal Headroom for Gen5 SSDs

The active cooler keeps a PCIe 5.0 drive at lower operating temperatures during heavy sequential workloads such as large file transfers or content-creation tasks. Performance remains consistent where a passive spreader would saturate. The solution does not address cooling for other components or secondary M.2 slots without their own headers.

Fan Header Control and Clearance

A dedicated fan header allows the motherboard to regulate speed based on drive temperature, balancing airflow against acoustic output. The low-profile design clears standard CPU coolers and full-length graphics cards. No software suite or additional mounting hardware is included beyond the heatsink unit itself.
