The motherboard manual says to use slot #1 for fastest boot time. I assume it must be the 1st slot to be scanned. Use the slot #3 w/heatsink for whichever SSD will be used the most since they generate most of their heat while reading/writing. That probably means putting your OS SSD in slot 3, sacrificing a little boot time in exchange for the better heat management (although slot #1 is right next to the CPU cooler/fan so maybe that's a wash, in which case put the OS SSD in slot #1).
