Hello. I am slowly piecing together the parts for a new desktop machine, I will be using for gaming and development. It will be dual-boot Win 10/Linux (hopefully Slackware) 64-bit.
This weekend I bought the Gigabyte x570 Aorus Master motherboard and a Gigabyte Aorus nvme 1TB (yes, the copper one). I plan to install the ssd in the first socket, the M2A. I will also install a PCi 3.0 ssd in socket M2B.
My question is this: Can I leave the thermal guard off on the Aorus nvme, after installation? My thinking is the copper will do well enough to keep it cool.
I should add, I will be installing a GPU in PCIEX16. I will be using the Ryzen 7 3700x cpu.
Thanks!
