Greetings!

Getting ready to build a PC for a friend. We are going to have a Samsung 960 M.2 as boot drive and my question is... is there any difference between the 2 M.2 slots on this motherboard for a boot drive? I'm a little concerned that M.2 slot 1 is right next to the video card (GTX 1070), so thought slot 2 might help everything run a bit cooler. Any thoughts?

Many Thanks!
