Will the WD Black SN850X with heatsink fit in there, or would you have to use ones without heatsink?

The WD Black SN850X with heatsink can be installed in the ASUS Hyper M.2 x16 Gen 4 card, but there are a few things to keep in mind:
- The card comes with pre-installed 1mm thick rubber pads that are compatible with double-sided M.2 storage devices. However, if you are installing a single-sided M.2 storage device with a heatsink, you should make sure that the heatsink is not too high to ensure proper mounting and cooling.
- It is important to check the dimensions and height of the heatsink to ensure that it fits into the slots provided and does not interfere with other components of the system.
As a rule, M.2 storage devices with a heatsink should fit without any problems as long as they comply with the standard dimensions (e.g. 2280, 2260, 2242) and the heatsink is not too large. However, it is advisable to check the specific dimensions of the heatsink and the card before installation.
