Could you add testing those
Could you add testing those M.2 coolers with motherboards that come with those for future motherboards? It seems like those coolers and claims made by manufacturers regarding those coolers vary wildly and having a clear idea on how they perform would be useful shoppers.
I will make sure to add some
I will make sure to add some testing for that when we do the full review of the board. Thanks for the feedback…
