M.2 SSDs and heat?

[wantgpuhelp]

I want to get an m.2 sata SSD but Im not sure about heat, my 2.5 inch SSD already gets pretty hot (around 40c) so Im not sure about having an SSD without a shell, especially right under the graphics card

40c is okay for silicon chip, you need from 100c to be worried.

I had an M.2 drive that was in one of the worst possible spots, which was under the motherboard and heat dumped from the video card bled into there. So it was always sitting at a toasty 60C whenever I was gaming.

 

Didn't really encounter a problem.
