M.2 SSD temperature

Level 7
Hello Everyone.

On IX formula MOBO there is a cover, that covers the M.2_1 slot.
AIDA64 shows that my ssd is 65 degree C in idle.

I'm afraid, that it's going to be too hot when i'll start playing.

I'm thinking about moving the ssd to M.2_2 port, that is at the bottom of the MOBO.
It's not covered by anything, and is located perpendicularly to the MOBO.
Or maybe just remove the cover from M.2_1 slot?
Can you please share your thoughts about this?

Also, will there be any difference in performance between M.2_1 and M.2_2?
Or maybe some other problems?

Good idea, but in my case the hottest chip has very small surface to try and cut something.
I think I'll leave everything as it is right now.
I have achieved some progress, so it's still better, than it was before.

UPD:
Guess who can't calm down?
Even with perfectly attached heatsinks, this....soldering iron can't drop under 46c.
I know it's not even near 80c, when it'll start to throttle, but I just can't live with this.

Have found a local seller and ordered this:

Said made in germany.:D so hope it'll help for good!


And to make me a little sad, the samsung 960Pro has arrived to my country at the price of my mp500. :mad:


P.S Is there something I will be needing to reconfigure after I move the ssd from M.2_2 slot to PCIe?
