In fact... the SSD I bought prior to the board is reported as causing overheat !The fun is that a Pi is not a fully assembled PC from HP, Dell or Lenovo but a building block for making a custom solution.Hello,
I'm glad I could find this thread.

Just a question - I intend to give it a try, but... - would it be sensible to attach a heatsink under the pimoroni board with some thermal pad ?
I'm surprised the first Pi broke from overheating, usually it happens the other way around and Pi's overheat because broken by something else.
I wonder if your SSD created so much heat that the throttling of the Pi was not enough to prevent thermal runaway. If that's what happened I think it makes sense to further cool the SSD.
I've added 3mm more space between the NVME board and the PI, together with the SSD heatsink it seeems to make things go a little better.
I've begun reading this thread about fans & GPIO, too much things I don't understand for now, I will read again and again until I can.
