[SOLVED] 980 Pro / SN850?

[Rocksy]

I see these two drives.
The WD is faster but I see he is very heat..

If I got mobo like X570 taichi or Aorus Master with heatsinks for the nvme.. it is really matter?

Heat sinks definitively helps.

But I need to wait for SN850 heatsink version?

I meant heatsink on the motherboard, you can't have both. Besides, only time SSD will heat up when benchmarking or really long file transfer.

So why in reviews says the SN850 heats up a lot? I think even with mobo heatsinks..
which you choose the samsung or wd?

I have 2x Samsung 960 evo under MB heatsinks, never heats up too much.

SN850 here - on B550 MOBO in PCIe 4.0 M.2 slot under MOBO stock heatsink. No overheating noticed so far. I believe in regular use like office tasks, internet browsing, downloading and gaming SN850 with basic heatsink can work without overheating issues. Video rendering and benchmarking may raise temp to throttling level - if you want to use SN850 for video rendering, use better heatsink.
