do I have to keep the plastic thing that comes with the board removed? or I place it back on top of the 970? do I remove the sticker? see here:

 

 

this guy uses a drive that has its own heatsink thing, so im not sure. do i place the black plastic back on top of the 970 or not? and do i remove the sticker thing?

What plastic thing? The aluminium heatsink or the thin plastic film on the thermal pad?

What sticker? On the 970 EVO? You dont remove that.

I believe the sticker he is talking about is the one that covered the thermal pad. The label on the 970 Evo stays on, then you remove the sticker on the thermal pad, which is attached to the little M.2 heat sink that came with the motherboard, then you just put that heat sink over the 970 Evo. Since the SSD that this guy used already has a heat sink, he didn't use the black one that came with the motherboard.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

Yes that Blue looking sticker you need to peel off. The Black heatsink then goes on top of your SSD.

 

 

The SSD the guy used in the video had it's own heatsink so that is why he didn't need to use it.

Pretty sure once you remove the heat sink, the sticker says "please remove before use" printed on it

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

In which case, they probably assume you'd treat it the same way as the sticker on the CPU cooler, since most coolers come with a little sticker on the bottom of it
