M.2 Gen4 x570

[The Dirts]

Quick question if I may,

At present I'm only seeing two Gen4 M.2. The Corsair and the Gigabyte. Both have rather large heatsinks.
Now, looking the various photos of mobos and the M.2s I'm seeing a small problem. There's no way they can fit under the heatsinks covering the M.2 slots and the PCH. Or am I wrong? I usually am in these cases.

Are the heatsinks removable without warranty issues or should I just get this and "suffer" the slower speeds

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x Samsung 970 EVO Plus Polaris 1TB M.2 2280 PCI-e 3.0 x4 NVMe Solid State Drive= £248.99

Thanks for taking the time to read.

Hello !

Same here

I think it is a common problem ,and i dont find any review or nearly anything about it anywhere.

I read a comment where a guy ask about the MP600 performance without heat sink ,somebody from corsair answered that the MP600 bring that speed just with heatsink

I want to buy a crosshair hero when will be available ,but i dont want using it with removed plate , this mobo has a M.2 aluminum heatsink ,im just curious if i remove the heatsink from the m.2 and put it under the cover ,what happen under load , it is enough or become overheated ,or just maybe fit the aorus under the cover?

a Day or two ,and people start testing the new systems ,lots of people bought an aorus gen4 m.2 ,i hope somebody write a detailed review about it sooner or later.

Anybody heard something about it ?

Thank You

I ordered the Asrock X570 Steel Series and the Corsair MP600. I plan on removing the Corsair heatsink and relying on the motherboard heatsink instead. I'll test both and post results but I don't know how long it'll take as my RAM and 3800X are still on pre-order.

If you're just gaming there's very little real world difference between PCIe v3 NVMe and "slow" SATA SSDs:

So in such use there's no sense to pay any such luxury over like Corsair MP510.

You can get ~2TB drive for same price:

Or 960GB for £129

You make a very valid point (says the man that has a Corsair MP510 960GB).

But if you've got the money put aside, why not just buy the best/fastest if you fancy it. Very often being practical doesn't come into this hobby of ours (certainly doesn't for me at times ).

Ended up getting a Aorus Elite instead of the Asrock so the heatsink arrangement is different. Consequently, I'm running the MP600 with it's own heatsink so can't really help I'm afraid.
