5. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to install the JEYI icold-007 M.2 Heatsink onto your M.2 2280 SSD:
- Prepare the SSD: Ensure your M.2 2280 SSD is clean and free of dust or debris.
- Apply Thermal Pad: Carefully peel off the protective film from one side of the silicone thermal pad and stick it onto the top surface of your M.2 SSD. Ensure it covers the main chips.
- Position SSD in Heatsink: Place the SSD (with the thermal pad attached) into the heatsink. Align the screw holes on the heatsink with those on the SSD.
- Secure Heatsink: Use the provided screwdriver and four screws to secure the heatsink around the SSD. Do not overtighten the screws.
- Install into Slot: Insert the assembled SSD and heatsink into the M.2 slot on your motherboard or console (e.g., PS5). Ensure it is fully seated and secured according to your device's instructions.

6. Operating Instructions
The JEYI icold-007 is a passive heatsink and requires no active operation. Once installed, it continuously dissipates heat from your M.2 SSD. For optimal performance, ensure adequate airflow within your PC case or console to allow the heatsink to effectively shed heat into the surrounding environment.
7. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Periodically inspect the heatsink for dust accumulation. Use compressed air or a soft brush to gently remove any dust from the fins to maintain optimal cooling performance.
- Thermal Pad Inspection: If you ever remove the heatsink, inspect the thermal pads. If they appear damaged, dried out, or lose their adhesive properties, they should be replaced to ensure efficient heat transfer.
8. Troubleshooting
- Heatsink Not Fitting: Double-check that your SSD is an M.2 2280 form factor. Ensure no other components on your motherboard or console are obstructing the heatsink. Verify that the thermal pads are correctly applied and not causing excessive thickness.
- SSD Overheating After Installation: Confirm that the thermal pads are making good contact with both the SSD chips and the heatsink. Ensure the heatsink is securely fastened with the screws. Check for adequate airflow within your system's chassis.
- SSD Not Detected: This heatsink is a passive component and does not affect SSD detection. If your SSD is not detected, re-check its seating in the M.2 slot and consult your motherboard/console manual for troubleshooting SSD detection issues.
