NVMe Gen4 cooling solution Heatsink designed for high-speed NVMe Gen4 drives
Hi, I faced an issue while putting together the computer. The motherboard is an ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Hero, and the SSD is a GIGABYTE Aorus NVMe Gen4 2TB. My concern is about the correct slot placement. Both slots support the highest speeds for an AMD 3rd generation CPU. I learned it's better to position the drive nearer the CPU, so I put it in the first slot. But now, because of the heatsink on the drive, I can't reattach the fan cover from the motherboard chipset. In short, should I use the first slot or the second? Will not having the fan cover cause any issues if I leave the drive in the first slot? Or should I remove the heatsink from the drive and use one from the motherboard? Thanks for your assistance.
