I wanted to buy ROG B450-F Gaming motherboard and 970 EVO 500GB NVMe ssd , but I'm worried about the ssd overheating. Should i get the Aorus b450 pro (rev.01) motherboard because it has heatsink on it,but many people say the VRM temp is bad on this motherboard.
What should i do?
 
Solution
Heatsink is not needed for NVMe SSD (is more a "cool looking" gimmick in my opinion). I have 970 PRO without "cooler" and is working just fine for almost a year (average temp's are 40-43°C).
