Good Day,
I currently have the Asus Z390 Maximus XI Hero
https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/ROG-MAXIMUS-XI-HERO-WI-FI/
I want to install my new ADATA Nvme drive XPG SX8200, does it make a difference if I install it in the 1st slot or the 2nd? 1st slot is on top 2nd is closer to the bottom. Which one would provide better cooling?
Also this Nvme drive, came with a simple heatsink, that I already applied to the drive via adhesive that was pre installed on the back of the plate/heatsink. You can see the drive and heatsink here:

My question is, since Z390 has its own heatsinks on the mobo for m2, do I need to remove the heasink that I already applied on the Nvme drive if I want the best cooling? Or do i Just install the Asus heatsink on top of the ADATA heatsink?
Thanks
