I have a Corsair MP400 4 TB NVME drive sitting physically under my RTX 3090. I'm in the process of copying data onto it as my main game library and data drive and it's holding steady at 65-70C (critical temperature is 80C), but I'm wondering how it will fare when I start gaming?
 
What board is it?

Asus B560M-Plus. It's in the second NVME slot (PCIEv3 x4). I'm in the process of copying ~1.5TB onto it so I'm not surprised it's heating up right now, even though it's operating at the speed of the LAN, a paltry 1 Gbps. The question is whether or not being underneath the 3090 will be an issue when I game.
