I have recently decided to purchase a new 500gb SSD, as my 250gb 850 EVO is running out of space for my games. I am looking at getting an 860 evo, as they are extremely cheap. However, I wanted to get an M.2 one to save me the trouble of opening up my computer to plug a SATA SSD into my power supply.
However I have heard that many m.2 ssds can get quite hot. Would I need any form of external cooling for the 860? Or would the temps be fine? Another thing to consider is that my m.2 slot is right under my gpu, which gets up to 60-70 degrees during games.
