Hi All!

I currently have a Z390 Phantom Gaming ITX setup installed in a compact Ghost S1 case. CPU is a i7 8700k water cooled without OC.

I would like to install another NVME.m2. A little concerned with heat that might affect the system in a negative way

Just wanted to see if there are any users here with 2 nvme SSD installed, would like to know your experience.

Many Thanks!

Dear Foreg,

Yes you can use both slots, but keep in mind watercooling looks nice, but can cause the Voltage Regulator Modules (VRM's) that regulate the power to the CPU, to get quite hot, and this heat stays in the system, when using a Noctua NH L9i X65 or NH-L9i is an option, this cools down, the CPU, and also the VRM's, generation less heat.
Airflow is the key
