Description

I have a GMKtec Mini PC M5 Plus (Ryzen 7 8825u 32GB with two 1TB NVME SSD). This setup overheat quite a lot especially the second SSD which, because of the fan, cannot be used with a heat sink. This result in quite severe heat built-up: the second SSD at idle remains at 68-70 degree and under peak load condition will heat up to 80 degree!

Replacing the OEM cover with this custom cover helps a lot: now the second SSD remains at 48-50 degree while idle and will peak at 65 degree. A substantial improvement! The primary SSD and the CPU also benefit they run about 8 to 12 degree cooler with my particular configuration.

This custom cover should also fit other GMKtec models such as: C6, M6, K6 and K9 (maybe others too), just make sure that they have the same design as the M5 Plus.

If you do print this and use it, please post pictures of your make, it motivates me to publish more designs!
