AIDA64
Since its early days as Everest, AIDA64 has provided an excellent way to benchmark your system without requiring you to take a week off work whilst the tests run. From the memory bandwidth benchmarks which test your throughput, to the CPU benchmarks which vary in scope to test everything from raw calculation – CPU Queen – through compression algorithms – zLib – and the all important encryption – AES256.

What voltage range is available on this board?Quote
That is the PCIe 3.0 M.2 slot. The PCIe 4.0 M.2 slot is the one closest to the CPU and does not come with a heat spreader, presumably because Asus expects that the PCIe 4.0 SSDs will come with their own heat spreaders. Corsair - which is part of the "TUF alliance" with Asus - deliver their MP600 series PCIe 4.0 M.2 SSDs with integrated heat spreaders. Seagate's ZP500 does not come with a heat spreader, so you'd probably have to buy one if you plan to use that SSD on this motherboard.
Gigabyte's AORUS PCIe 4.0 M.2 SSD also comes with its own heat spreader, which means you'll have spare ones, as Gigabyte's B550 motherboards come with a heat spreader.Quote
