I wish they would just start putting EDSFF slots on desktop motherboards. They aren’t that much bigger than m.2, but they are designed to have heatsinks large enough to keep the SSD cool under heavy load.
M.2 installed base is simply too large by this point. I am also assuming margins on motherboards with EDSFF are significantly higher and OEMs want to avoid cannibalisation.
My motherboard came with a tiny angled vertical fan that blows directly on the ram. The m2 slots are farther back but I just put a case fan on top of the graphics card and that blows straight on them.
