480 BPX nvme Silicon pad

[LordA22m]

I've got a MydigitialSSD 480GB BPX m.2 nvme installed on the back of a B350 motherboard inside a Fractal Node 202. It's runs between 58C-66C.

I was wondering if there would be any danger if i bridged the space between the NVME and the back of the case with a silicon pad? My thought was to use the back of the case as a heatsink for the drive.

My only concern was that would somehow mess with the grounding or something (although a silicon pad shouldn't be conductive for electricity)

Any tips or concerns would be appreciated

You would be blocking airflow, it is air gapped now, so, this isn't advisable.
If you must do anything, I suggest a fan blowing in that area, or a bigger/stronger case fan if those temps concern you (and 58-66C is nothing to be concerned about, they list 70C before it will throttle).
