Question 1

Is this SSD compatible with the ASRock Z390 Steel Legend LGA 1151 (300 Series)?

Accepted Answer

Really the only difference in the (300) series is they are little less expensive and use the new CPU gen 8,9 the attached hardware ie: ssd cards and drives can be the same. check you speed for read, write. Since they can take a faster bus faster they are the quicker you system.

Question 2

How much heat does this thing put off? Using a mATX board.

Accepted Answer

I placed mine in a low profile pci express m.2 adapter card, sitting next to a fan which is pointed at a pci express graphics card.  The fan now cools both, and I have had no problems.  I never tried one in an m.2 slot on the mb.  The 760 always runs as fast as my installation allows, and isn't thermally throttled.  If you have good airflow, and/or an m.2 heat sink, I would think you would be okay.  My case is generally well ventilated.
