It means there are two slots (dual), and that one of those slots has a heatsink cover, so don't expect to put a device with a factory heatsink in that slot.i want to install two M.2 cards. Does this
- Dual Ultra-Fast NVMe PCIe 4.0/3.0 x4 M.2 with One Thermal Guard
mean that it has 4 slots are something on the MOB?

The "x4" refers to the PCIe lanes.i want to install two M.2 cards. Does this

Giving us the manufacturer and exact model of the motherboard would be the best way to have us verify.MoBo make and model is?
IMO, more like dual-purpose, capable of PCI-E 3.0 and PCI-E 4.0. But still single slot. With included Thermal Guard.

And look closely at the pictures. The M.2 slot above the graphics card slot is the one with the heatsink. The second slot, near the "Amped Up" on the picture does not have a heatsink.From the specs page:

2 ea M.2 ports.
The will physically fit and run.i have these two M.2 that i want to put into board
Storage (1): Western Digital Black SN770 1 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive
Storage (2): Western Digital Black SN770 500 GB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive
want to make sure i pick a board they will fit into
With a G CPU....BOTH of the M.2 ports run at PCIe 3.0x4.i am going to use 5600g............so what does this mean for the slots?
