Storage Tests

We're using a heatsink-clad version of the Corsair Force NVMe 4.0 drive so it makes sense not to have another heatsink available. We also have another heatsink-less Corsair drive, this time 2TB in capacity, whose temperature hits an average of 71°C on this board and 65°C on the rival Gigabyte, which has a heatsink for its fastest M.2 slot.

Those numbers aren't big, of course, yet we feel Asus misses a trick here. If nothing else, it could simply put some form of basic secondary heatsink in the box.
