Hi Despotp,

Thank you for your post.

If you would like to use the SSD with a heatsink at M.2_2.

The motherboard original heatsink will not be able to use.

The motherboard heatsink of M.2_2 also helps to cool down the chipset.

So we recommend using the SSD without heatsink at M.2_2.

All the best

Hello, all.

I want to put a second NVME in my Z490 Taichi. I understand it should go in M2_2 since I already have one in M2_1. My question is, will the MVNE with the built in heatsink fit in the second slot or should any MVNE going in M2_2 NOT have one?

In case it matters, I'm looking at a 2TB WD drive. These two:
WDS200T3XHC (with heatsink) -
WDS200T3X0C (without heatsink)

Thanks in advance.]]> Sat, 04 Dec 2021 23:52:11 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=19900&PID=91182&title=heatsink-for-the-mvne-in-m2-2pound#91182
