What rubber pads? Do you mean the thermal pads on the heatsink of the motherboard? If so, yes use them, do not remove them. You do need to remove any plastic film that may be on them.

argb, the 5V one. Again, from the manual.

Rubber pads very small square shape not thetmal pads . Manual says if nvme ssd is double sided dont use and if single sided use it. I am confused i have samsung 980 1tb 2280 m
Gotcha. Some NVME drives have chips on both sides. It looks like yours does not, so leave the rubber pad.

Leave? It says if single sided we need to install .

I don't think you are gonna ruin your SSD if you leave the rubber alone. Stop obsessing over it and just install the SSD.

Yes, install the pads. Although it likely won't hurt anything if you don't.
In my first M.2 build I forgot to install the pads and I could see the drive flexing a bit beneath the heatsink that the board came with. As you say, probably not the end of the world but it probably inhibited cooling a bit.

40 also do i have to argb and rgb extention cable?
I know very little about RGB, sorry. Re temps - one more check I'd make is to trawl the BIOS and make sure that there's no processor overclocking going on. I don't know the foibles of that particular processor, but a quick google suggests that your load temps are higher than expected. Hopefully someone here knows that processor well enough to advise what to expect.

Can you help with overclocking i9 10900k on asus z490f strix
If you're already having trouble with your processor hitting 100C then overclocking is the last thing that I would be thinking about in your place.

In general I would advise against overclocking processors from recent years because they're being pushed to their limits far more than processors from several years ago or more were (assuming you want a system that will work reliably in the medium to long term).

What changed? Your "4 hours" post suggests you re-assembled the whole thing.
When i indtalled cpu in new board i replaced noctua nth2 thermal paste after using isopropyl may be helped with lower temp now. Now maxing at 71 in intel processor diagnostic test . Have not tested occt yet

Especially after my experience with an intermittently faulty graphics card a few years ago, I would give it a month on stock settings to make sure everything is working 100% reliably before I considered trying to OC it. Otherwise you might end up chasing a gremlin that is only exacerbated by the OC, and there's no solid ground for you to retreat to.

You could boot from a Linux live CD/USB, browse for the web a bit with it and see whether you get any disconnections?

Did you get a new board or are you still using the one that looks like the cpu power connector partially incinerated?
