“Is it true that this board has three PCIe gen 4 M.2 slots? The PCIe 4 NVME SSD drives I find have large heat sinks mounted on them. This board has shields over the M.2 sites. Will a large SSD like this fit into any of the slots on this board?”

Im not sure about other brands but the corsair mp600 the heatsink is actually removable, if not u can just take place them without the msi heat shield, that way u can show off your nice m.2 drives. And interms of pcie4 support i think it is all 3, the top one is directly connected to the cpu, the other go through the chipset, so if your only running one i highly recommend attaching it to the top slot. Hope this helped.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.1: Yes. All 3 are Gen 4 slots. Unlike the B550, one is from the CPU, the other 2 are from the Chipset itselff. 2: Depends on the size of the heat sinks and the graphics card you put in the first PCI-E slot. You may have to remove the shields to use them.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.yes. remove the motherboard heatsink if you prefer to use the included/built-on heat sink of your nvme drive.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes they will fit fine ... The only thing you have to do is not place the motherboard shield back on since you already have a heats ink on your nvme drive.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.they will work if you remove the heat sink shield. i read that the boards covers won`t work with heat sinked ssd.
