Build Question SSD Advice

Hey so I’m starting to buy parts for my PC and I realized that I had a SSD in my PS5 and I figured if I could save a couple hundred bucks on the SSD that’d would be nice.

So I’m wondering if the heatsink on this SSD will cause any issues with this motherboard? Can I just not screw back in that M.2 plate and just leave the SSD showing? Or will that cause any issues?

Thanks for the help!

— Glad I bought that SSD when I did because the price of it now is ridiculous lol —

The heat sink on the SSD is not a problem. You just don't attach the heat sink that comes with the motherboard.
