    my asus board has this tab locking thing for nvme slots which while a great idea its useless when the nvme has a big heat sink on

    Like most of that ilk there will be good ones and bad ones. Something like that is probably going to live or die by the quality of the ribbon cable.

    Personally i'd put more faith in a pci-e slot -> m.2 converter if you have slots free


    Also can the toolless retention mechanism not be replaced with something more conventional?

    that is what i thought, they are mean be removaable but i think asus has changed some thing it wont come off

    my old mobo the lactic tab like in this pic could be removed with a bit of force, this mobo also has a metal heat sink type thing underneath and my 4090 waterblock is also not helping
