SSD placement:
Motherboard supports 2 NVME SSD slots: 1 in front w/heatsink, 1 in back w/no heatsink. The 4TB SSD was moved to the front for heatsink support, since most heavy programs will run on the 4TB SSD. Changed BIOS boot location to the 500GB SSD in the back of the motherboard. The motherboard will usually default to the 4TB SSD because of its placement in the front.
- 4TB SSD in front w/heatsink

System fan placement:
- Top: None
- Bottom: None
