Hey all. I guess there are a number of subforums this would fit under, so hopefully this is acceptable.
MoBo: MSI Pro Gaming Carbon X470
M.2 drive: Intel 660p
Hopefully in the above image you can see how much the M.2 drive is flexing underneath the motherboard's included heat shield. This seems abnormal, and surely the heat pad is making poor contact. I tried and retried setting it and couldn't get a different result.
Right now I've installed it sans shield, but I'm worried because my GPU will essentially be exhausting right onto the drive.
Many thanks in advance for any advice!
