Hi,
I exchanged the 2nd ssd with a single side Kingston Fury Renegade 4TB (version with heat spreader). I get 15 degrees less than the samsung OEM ones.
This ssd is very nice and the speed too. I boycott samsung ones due to data loss news recently.

I just got the 2TB version. It is single sided. Works like a charm. No isolation. Runs at 25-27 degrees while idle. 🙂

Sorry for the late reply but the forum switch delayed it.
Indeed I added a strip of isolation, starting at the M.2 socket across the wifi module up to the connector cable at the left side.
It's just in case. The KC3000 has a label on its backside so also the graphen layer is covered.
But it looks to me that there is even some air between the KC3000 and the wifi module.
The top isolation is the default which was attached there by ASUS.

No problem @Phil_K. I read your private message. Me I didn't set back the default top isolation. I was thinking it will give promblem to the sdd heat spreader to evacuate heat. Greetings.
@PixelenforcerThanx for the report. Yes temps are great on those ssd.

@Svan
Related to the temperature... hard to say how much that makes a difference.
The Kingston SSD Manager shows me 25-27°C during normal use and around 30°C after some 360° video editing with load on CPU/GPU raising their temperatures too. Those video files are on the KC3000.
In summary, it was all quite unproblematic and I'm satisfied with the actual performance.
It is a pity that Asus did not include a maximum height / thickness for the SSDs in the manual.
But unfortunately there is no changelog for the bios updates too. 😉
