yes

You're probably fine then. Just keep an eye on that motherboard temp. The SSD might have better air flow in the top slot. But I would imagine the motherboard folks take the SSD temp into consideration.

Does MSI have temperature limits anywhere for that board?

Temps look fine.

The only thing I see maybe not getting enough air is the top vrm/soc heatsink because theres really no direct air going through it.
That could potentially get too hot when you overclock

I needed the motherboard max. temps once... I couldn't find the info anywhere. So I called the motherboard company and they had the max. motherboard temps. Just FYI.

kk thanks for the help

this little cheap thing seems perfect to help exhaust more put it right under my gpu

That's probably not necessary.

With the SSD in the top slot, the CPU will run hotter. With it in the bottom slot, the vid card and the motherboard will run hotter.
But like I said...I'm sure the motherboard company has taken the SSD temps into consideration when they made the motherboard.

AIDA64 will show you the SSD temp. And many more temps than Speccy shows.

Under full load - that is absolutely fine. You shouldn't be worried until it hits 90-95c under full load.

Better send it to me.

you got it sent last week!
