[SOLVED] cooling NVMe M2

Solution
M.2 devices do not need aux cooling.

A m.2 ssd will heat up under continuous sequential processing that you see
in synthetic benchmarks. but that is not what we do. Most processing is small random I/O.
The sequential processing might be while loading a game, or perhaps a virus scan.
It takes perhaps 30 seconds or more to get a m.2 warm enough to
impact performance. At that point, it will just slow down.

Solution
hello, does seagate firecuda 530 2TB need heatsink from both sides ? have just one sided on motherboard.
  1. You CAN'T cool both sides.
  2. It probably does not need a heatsink at all.

Just last night, doing a LONG data transfer to my Intel 660p.
No heat sink on it at all. Writing 600+GB of data to it, it rose to a max of 65C. Well within the actual operating temperature.

something like EK have bothsided passive cooling,
i will see when i test it,
thank you
