Is it the M.2 SSD?
Yes, how did yu quessed it? This Samsung SM951 M.2 SSD is allegedly made by "10nm technology" and I was not expecting it get to be the hottest part on the board. A "bit" surprising for me.
You have some experience with M.2 SSDs like that? I would like to learn, because this is news for me... Not very good news anyway.

The gentle typhoon in open air is really good for airflow/noise but it is so hard to mount.
Mounting on the Raijintek Morpheus should be easy, as the wire clips just clamp the fan from outside, so, I see noproblemo there. Should I be worried...?
A little unfortunate is that the 290 died after mounting the mk26 into first test.
Very sad and unlucky
Hopefully mine GTX 960 survive
What happen? Cannot you contributed to this in any way, shape or form...?
The mk26 is less generous on mofset and vrm heatsink although more expensive. The vrm heatsink is wimpy.
Interesting. No VRM cooling is need on my MSI GTX 960 Gaming 4G, because the mosfets are in front of the card AND they are already covered with big own MSI heatsink. So I will have no use for the Raijintek Morpheus serious VRM cooler. Maybe for some old GFX card project...?
The installation is less straight forward. The mounting screw is again, Wimpy, one striped at the end part, so it doesn't stop rotating, and another one is bended. Maybe it is not the screw but the fact the they are screwed a thin plate, where the Morpheus uses stand offs. Heatsink construction seem to be on par, with edge go to the mk26.
Looks like my choice for Raijintek Morpheus was a good one. Bendt screw? WTF... Bad packaging or...?
Another factor is the mk26 seem to put more torque on the card since it stick out upward (think of a lever), though that does give better clearance for possibly better performance. Overall, the Morpheus is better solution, and cheaper.
Interesting. Well, I'm very affraid of the weight torque forces, so I was thinking like that:
1) the card choice / company is that, because MSI Gaming series provide nice metal support and backplate on the GTX 960, so it should not bendt
2) the problem with torque on the GPU I plan to fix by adding a screw on the end of the card, that will push the end of the cooler to the end of the card - quite simply I add a solid metal piece between two end screws on the MSI card that hold the backplate - using own longer screws. That give me possibility to have a M3 thread in the middle of the end of the card and thru the fins I just - by a long screw - fix the end of the Raijintek Morpheus to the end of the card, minimalizing the torque that happen once I put that card into case, upside down.
3) since the Raijintek Morpheus are longer that the card, it should not be a problem to pass another screw on the end of the hatsink, that will holt a hook or something, that can be used to support the weight of the card into my case...
We see, how this will turn out. ATM I waiting impatiently for the rams, so I could start some first estiminates on the noise the system will generate when loaded. At iddle it was acceptably noisy - in case it should be OK even for me. But the question is what happen under load...
Also I wanted to obtain some new fans, but they cannot have them soon enought for the tomorrow shipment, so... that testing probably happen only later
