I'll be starting on a new build soon with an ASRock X570 Phantom Gaming 4, Ryzen 7 5800X, and 1TB XPG GAMMMIX S70 Blade NVME.

I know the motherboard has two Hyper m.2 slots and I'll be using my NVME SSD as the primary boot drive.

I don't like that the placement of the first m.2 slot is right under the GPU and my RX580 will be blowing hot air right on top of it. Also, I'd like to use a larger heatsink on the SSD and avoid any clearance issues.

So, will it be okay to use the bottom Hyper m.2 slot instead of the first one?]]> Tue, 14 Dec 2021 08:48:59 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=19943&PID=91286&title=new-build-question-about-hyper-m2-slot#91286
