Hi,
Just done my 1st build and have purchased a 2nd ssd (2TB P44 Pro Series M2). My motherboard (Asus rog strix b650e-f) comes with heatsinks reinstalled with a thermal pad fitted.
My question is probably a stupid one.... The ssd has a slip of paper stuck over the top of the ssd chips.... Does this get peeled off before putting the heatsink on so that the thermal pad/paste sticks directly to the chips of does it stay in place so that the thermal pad sticks to it.
