The Amazon product photo shows M.2_1 under its own TUF heatsink, M.2_3 and M.2_4 under the long lower heatsink and M.2_2 as an open slot, so M.2_2 is stored with no heatsink. Mezha and FPS Review also describe one cooler for M.2_1 and a common plate for M.2_3 and M.2_4.5Reviewmezha.ua/en/reviews/asus-tuf-gaming-z890-plus-wifi-motherboard-review-getting-to-know-intel-core-ultra-5-245kRead 16 October 2026M.2_1 has a large cooler with a complex profile.
