With cardboard isolation (if at all possible in those tiny spacings) there would be even less airflow surrounding the SSD so I'd imagine it would make things worse for the SSD; the PCIe SSD itself is a heat generator, so much so that in the thermograph part of the SSD temp was actually higher than the portions of the sandwiching video cards that were near the SSD.What if you sandwich the ssd with thermally and electrically isolating sheets of suitable material, to prevent it being heated by the graphics cards? Cardboard, maybe (though I have no idea how good cardboard is as a thermal insulator)?
