this has to come out, since you have this large heat sink neither of the standoffs is required

Take a look at the picture, I can't screw in that screw because the m.2 screw is blocking it? What am I supposed to do? I tried removing m.2 screw and then screwing motherboard heatsink screw but it bents a SSD a little so I doubt that is how it's supposed to be done.

How so? The SSD is meant to bend a little, in that it flexes down towards the board to be horizontal.

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

Take a look at the left side of the SSD, see how it's bent a little?

Oh, that is removable? I had no idea. I guess that solves my problem. Thank you very much.
