" rel="nofollow - EKWB have recently released some M.2 heatsinks : https://www.ekwb.com/shop/water-blocks/ssd-blocks/m2-heatsinks

Does anyone know if they are compatible with the X99 WS ? I am looking for official confirmation.

I don't like their backplate idea in the least. Just a heat trap it is.

Have you read the supporting documents that state a height on 42mm from board to top of the connector is req'd ?

I don't have that board. But a careful and quick read with a micrometer will tell.
