Sabrent Rocket 5 PCIE5 NVME Its not that HOT!!! 

Currently I don't think that PCIe 5.0 busses CAN come off of anything but the CPU. At least none that I've seen. The best boards will have a max of 24 lanes of PCIe 5.0 coming off the CPU, divided up in various ways depending on the MB, and then all the PCIe 4.0 lanes will come off the chipsets because that's the most that current gen chipsets can handle. For example my Gigabyte B650E Aorus Master board has 24 PCIe 5.0 lanes off the CPU alone, that can run in x8(GPU)/x4(M.2)/x4(M.2)/x4(M.2)/x4(M.2) mode or x16(GPU)/x4(M.2)/x4(M.2) mode.

​@@MrTearyOne Interesting, is that the best motherboard for the maximum amount of m2 slots that support PCIe 5 whilst also providing the highest throughput for all 4 slots at the same time?

@@thenamelessone123 As far as I'm aware, the B650e Aorus Master is the ONLY AMD motherboard that can support four(4) Gen5 M.2 NVMe drives (and trust me I looked at dozens of boards from MSI, Asrock, Asus and Gigabyte). Other boards will do maybe (2) Gen5 drives or (1) Gen5 drive and (2) or (3) Gen4 drives, but (4) Gen5 drives is pretty unique. The sacrifice being of course, that the additional PCIe slots are limited, and the primary Gen5 PCIe x16 lane for the graphics card has to run in PCIe x8 mode, but realistically that is unlikely to affect anything because in 99/100 situations you will hit GPU utilization limit long before you ever hit PCIe bandwidth limit. PCIe available bandwidth is so far ahead of GPU requested usage that we probably won't see Gen4 PCIe x16 fully saturated until the RX 6090 comes out in 5 years.

Waterblock on nvme is not ideal anyways. An operating temperature of around 50C is optimal for performance from what I understand from according tests. 20C will reduce p performance.
