Hi
Quick question, I tried google but got numerous different information...

I have an Asus Rog Strix B450-I board, that has a heat sink for the m.2 drive.
It has a thermal pad on it.

Do I stick the thermal pad directly to the sticker of my 970pro SSD.
Or do I remove the sticker from the m.2, and apply the thermal pad directly to the m.2 components itself?
*My sticker says nothing about warranty, the warranty is mentioned on the sticker that's on the back.
**I have heard from random sources, that the 970pro sticker has copper compound blah blah and will transfer heat to a thermal pad.. but not 100% sure on it.
