    Hello Outrageous-Emu3255, and thank you for your submission to Gaming PC! If you are new please check out our rules over at the wiki [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/gamingpc/wiki/rules)!
    We have recently added the useful feature of Title Flair! You can set this manually by clicking Flair under your post once you have submitted your post, but if you missed it in the rules there is a much better way that will automatically flair your post!

    To do this simply add what your post is about in brackets before your title. For example for a Build Log you can type [Build Log] before your post so that it looks like this; [Build Log]My new awesome build!, and the bot will automatically set your flair to Build Log! This works for Build Log, Build Showcase, News, Hardware News, Hardware Release, Discussion, and Miscellaneous!

    Also remember that this is a place for discussing and sharing our love of Gaming Computers! This is NOT the place for help building or determining what parts you should buy, that is better suited for /r/buildapc. Troubleshooting questions should be directed to /r/techsupport. Thank you again!

    *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/gamingpc) if you have any questions or concerns.*

    That silver rectangle just above the GPU is where the main ssd should be. The other slot most likely does not have a heat sink and will be located underneath the main one, blocked by the GPU. So you will have to take the GPU out to put in a second ssd

    You can also google “gigabyte aero b650 manual” and find the manual to download and it should tell you exactly where to look

    Side note, I would recommend getting two fans to put them n the bottom as intake (pulling fresh air in). Right now you only have 3 fans and they are all set to exhaust (pushing air out of the case).
