Not kidding about the overheating on the rear M.2, I have the X370GTN and a 960 Pro 1TB, gets hot pretty quick. It's all that was available at the time. Will probably replace my board & CPU with Zen2 next year. That allows me the opportunity to go for Intel's chips with Spectre/Meltdown fixes in hardware as well.

Does using a heatsink for m.2 help? I see a ton of motherboards sold with heatsinks.

Yeah, front mounted M.2 with a heatsink is the way to go. Gets some airflow & a place for the heat to go if there isn't much.
