Hey everyone! I'm building my first PC and I have a quick question about my SSD. Do I need to take off the sticker before I install it? Also, I found two rubber pads in the motherboard box. Do I use those after removing the sticker? I'm working with a Gigabyte X870 Gaming Wifi 6 setup.

Glad you asked! It's definitely best to keep the sticker on while installing the SSD.
Lol, good catch on that! It’s easy to overlook, but definitely keep it on!
No way! Don’t remove the sticker; it actually acts as a heatsink. Keeping it on helps with heat management.
Yeah, the sticker is supposed to stay on. It's designed that way for a reason!
Thank you so much!
Thank you, you saved me!
