Details
The Aquacomputer Poweradjust 3 Passive Heatsink | Black (53181) is a passive aluminum heat sink that is mounted directly on top of a poweradjust 3 USB controller. It improves heat dissipation and thereby increases the maximum power output of the controller's fan channel. The poweradjust 3 itself is not included in delivery.

Installation
Disconnect the poweradjust 3 from the PSU first, then unplug every cable from it. Take out the three screws marked green in the manual's figure. From the supplied thermally conductive pad, cut pieces that fit the components marked by red rectangles, and lay them on those parts.
Set the heat sink onto the poweradjust PCB and fasten heat sink and PCB together with three of the M3 x 10 mm bolts that come with it. The remaining original screw is swapped for another M3 x 10 mm bolt and an M3 nut, both supplied. Plug all previously removed cables back in, and the controller is ready again.
