Keep things stock and well cooled. I recently changed my fan settings to keep things cooler instead of quiet. Caps shorten their lifespan be half with every 10°C rise in temp so it makes a difference whether the system spends most of the time at 30, 40, 50 or 60 case temp.

I have a pretty well ventilated case that I clean regularly, I think the case temp is fine. The early PCIe 4.0 SSD is what I am most worried about.
Heatsink it if not heatsinked. Also drop the spedd of the slot or move it to a slower slot. 😆
Heatsinked, but I still feel like some of the early PCIe 4.0 SSDs are less refined than later 4.0/5.0 models.
I am not dropping the speeds (I do video stuff as a hobby and it helps).
