Hi, I am about to buy this SSD. Corsair Force Series Gen.4 PCIe MP600 https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Storage/M-2-SSDs/Force-Series%E2%84%A2-Gen-4-PCIe-NVMe-M-2-SSD/p/CSSD-F500GBMP600 It comes with its own heatsink. However is that heatsink removable by the user, if required as a standard and simple process without voiding the warranty? Of course that SSD being Gen4 PCIe I know I will not operate it without heatsink. However the issue is that my board will have M.2 slot covered with a single piece of heatsink that also extends and covers the chipset. Board manufacture tech support confirmed that since the heatsink also covers chipset, it's not advisable to remove that M.2 heatsink. So to install this SSD, I would need to remove the heatsink off this SSD and mandatorily use the heatsink that comes with M.2 slot. I suppose may be it's a bit of inconvenient design by the board manufacturer? ASRock B550. They should have had only M.2 slot covered with its heatsink and keep the chipset heatsink totally separate and non-removable may be?? Thanks.

https://imgur.com/gallery/PYjXhkf So I was testing fitting the pump/heatsink so I know exactly how I'm gonna fit everything and upon taking it off, I noticed that the heat sink didn't sit flush, as you can see in the picture, that's how it seated with the stock thermal paste. I rechecked everything and made sure everything was seated and achieved the same exact results. Will this expand when running? Room I'm working in is 22c at the moment. Appreciate the help.
