Pretty sure this counts as only a first world problem

I'm lucky enough to have one of the OCUK Toxic PC's and it's been a while since I bought it so it needs a full flush of the radiators and a general cleanout / polish.

As I was going to strip it and rebuild it as part of the process I thought I would add some minor upgrades, liquid metal paste, possibly de-lid the CPU if it looks badly concave, and some EK heatsinks for my m.2 drives.

I can't fit the top m.2 drive heatsink (from EK) as it is interferred with by my (also EK) cpu waterblock.

Any suggestions? I really want a heatsink on my m.2 drive as its been hitting 70c on ocassion even with 20-30c ambients. My m.2 is running hotter than my gfx cards.

Do EK make a low prifle m.2 block?
 
Really just needs a bit of metal on the SSD controller IMO. Flash chips don't need cooling (actually better not to) and the controller just needs a little bit of thermal mass/surface area.

Certainly doesn't need active water cooling. Just pop a little 50p RAM heatsink on the controller with thermal tape.
