Today, we present the latest and the fastest Corsair SSD - MP700 PRO. The SSD arrived to us a while ago, and we had plenty of time to test it, so the conclusions in this review are based not only on synthetic tests but also on daily workloads.
The MP700 PRO is one of the fastest M.2 SSDs we can buy in stores, and even though it shares the same Phison controllers as all the fastest PCIe 5.0 SSDs, the MP700 PRO's design is improved compared to the competition. Of course, I won't share everything in the introduction, but you can expect some exceptional results.

That heatsink looks like it would obstruct GPU's.... or you would have to put it in a lower M.2 slot that often is not attached directly to the CPU but rather the northbridge.

It would not obstruct GPUs, assuming the drive was in the socket above the primary graphics(top slot).

Now, if you wanted to put this drive in a secondary socket below the GPU slot (or forced to b/c they for some reason put the 5.0-capable socket there), then yes, it would (like every other drive with a heatsink). But so long as it's using the socket above the top PCIe slot (in relation to the CPU socket), the Z height (or width) wouldn't get in the way.
 
If you expect problems or have a motherboard with a large heatsink, then the version without a heatsink is available and is cheaper.
As long as the heatsink is really large, it fits the same as any other large M.2 heatsink (ADATA 970, Crucial T700, and many more).
