Heatsink for the MVNE in M2_2£

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   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.

	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 ASRock TSD
