I have recently bought an EQ12/N100/DDR5. Separately, I bought Samsung 990 PRO 2TB SSD with Heatsink, and 1x32GB Corsair Vengeance DDR5.
RAM installed without difficulties, but the SSD is giving me problems. The heatsink is too big! I wasn't sure if to buy the SSD with heatsink or not, but the difference was about 5 dollars, so I bought the one with the heatsink. I see the EQ12 has a cooling metal plate and some cooling paste and a fan, so should I just return this SSD and get the one without heatsink? What are my options if I want to stick with this? I am not going to be installing SATA drives, so I've removed the cable/bracket for it. Can I also remove the whole inner panel - the one with the fan, or do I risk things overheating regardless of the heatsink on the SSD?
Incidentally, I've also removed the Wifi adapter - maybe a bad decision, but presently, I have no need for it so I thought why not disconnect it. It seems that the M2 port for the SSD is raised quite a bit to accommodate for the Wifi M2 slot, would be nice to lower it somehow.
I should have left things alone :)
