Interfacekaart Akasa AK-PCCM2P-04

The Akasa AK-PCCM2P-04 is an internal M.2 interface card that connects to the motherboard via a PCIe slot. It supports M.2 PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe drives and fits into PCIe Gen3 x4, x8 or x16 slots. The adapter features a passive cooling solution with exposed copper PCB and an additional heatsink to help reduce SSD temperatures and maintain performance. It is finished in black and requires no external power, allowing straightforward integration of M.2 storage into desktop systems.

Advantages

Exposed copper on the PCB combined with an attached heatsink provides passive heat dissipation to lower SSD operating temperatures. The card supports addressable 5V RGB LEDs for M.2 drives that include that header, enabling illumination with up to 16.7 million colours. Its mechanical design simplifies installation into standard PCIe Gen3 slots without additional power connectors.

Suitable for

• Upgrading a desktop system with an M.2 NVMe SSD
• Installing an M.2 PCIe 3.0 x4 drive in a PCIe Gen3 x4/x8/x16 slot
• Systems where passive cooling is preferred over active fans
• Setups that use 5V addressable RGB lighting on M.2 modules

Key specifications

• Host interface: PCIe (fits Gen3 x4, x8, x16)
• Output interface: M.2 (PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe)
• Cooling: Passive heatsink with exposed copper PCB
• LED support: 5V addressable RGB pin supported
• Power: No external power required (powered via PCIe slot)
• Colour: Black

How to use

Install the Akasa AK-PCCM2P-04 into an available PCIe Gen3 x4, x8 or x16 slot on the motherboard. Mount an M.2 PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe SSD onto the adapter following the screw position for the correct drive length, secure it with the supplied standoff/screw, and ensure the heatsink makes contact with the SSD surface. If the M.2 module includes a 5V addressable LED header, connect it to the card’s LED pin to enable lighting control via the system’s RGB controller or motherboard software.

Recommendations

For optimal thermal performance, ensure adequate case airflow and avoid obstructing the adapter's heatsink. Use compatible motherboard BIOS and drivers for NVMe support and addressable LED control where applicable.
