PERSONALIZATION

• Fully Covered Thermal Design
  High coverage MOSFET and integrated molding Heatsinks to improve thermal efficiency with better airflow and heat exchange.
• Enlarged Thermal Guard
  Enlarged M.2 heatsink prevents high-speed, large-capacity PCIe 4.0/3.0 SSDs flash from throttling due to overheating.
• 6-Layer & 2X Copper PCB
  2X Copper PCBs design effectively lower the component temperature by its high thermal conductivity and low impedance.
• 4X Large Surface
  Increased surface area up to 4X larger compared to traditional heatsinks. It improves heat dissipation from the MOSFETs.
• Real One-piece Build
  TMOS is a TRUE single piece heatsink. Its one-piece design and larger surface drastically improve the cooling performance against competitors’ multi-piece design.
• Multi-Cut Design
  TMOS features several channels and inlets on the heatsink. This design allows for the air flow to go through which leads to a great improvement of the heat transfer performance.
• M.2 Thermal Guard III
  M.2 Thermal Guard III constructed with 6X optimized heat dissipation surface to prevent throttling and bottleneck that high-speed/ large capacity of M.2 SSDs may cause, especially under heavy workload.The special design of heatsink grooves in the direction of CPU further enhances the in-chassis air flow and optimizes the heat convection efficiency.
• High Current Support
  Each fan headers support PWM and DC fan and Water Cooling Pump , and up to 24W (12V x 2A) with Over-Current Protection
• Precision Control
  Multiple temperature/fan speed control points for precise fan curve
• Dual Curve Mode
  Slope/Stair dual mode for different user scenario
• Fan Stop
  Fan can stop completely below users' specified temperature point

Connectivity
