Planning an iGPU build, you're dealing with ASUS Z690i and M.2 stacking challenges. Readings suggest heatsinks can affect fit when both M.2s are installed, especially if the cover plate bends or has a curve. Some recommend taking them out and replacing them. You're considering pairing the board with either a Samsung 980 Pro or the newer 990 Pro. I'm curious—has anyone had success with this setup? Any fit issues reported? Also, would a single-sided board work better than a double-sided one? Are Samsung GPUs classified as double-sided? Any additional tips would be appreciated. Thanks!
