Hello everyone, I want to get a new SSD for games as some games are very big and take some time in loading (Currently all my games are on normal hard disk)
I already have 2 SSDs but they are small and are dedicated to multiple operating systems that I use. I have decided to get a WD Blue SN550 NVMe SSD as my Cabinet is getting filled up with Hard drives as you can see from the below image
My Motherboard Asrock B360M Pro4 has 2 sockets M2_1 and M2_2 for M.2 SSD
The issue is that Socket M2_2 offers reduced speed as compared to Socket M2_1 and Socket M2_1 is just between GPU and CPU heat sink, should I be worried about SSD heating if it is placed on Socket M2_1
