Heatsinks for a 950 Pro?

[TheMightyBears]

Hi,

I bought my 950 Pro about 5 months ago and it's a great little stick. However, it gets very hot to the touch. I've considered buying heatsinks for RAM and just putting them on there. Is this advisable? Should I peel the 950 sticker off before putting on a heatsink or could that damage my NVME?

Hot to the touch doesn't equal hot by any means. I would not mess with it, as it makes no real difference.

Just because you add mass to an object doesn't mean it will be cooler. It will just be more massive, and take more time to heat up, but it will still heat up eventually, as the thermal dissipation of the small amount of aluminium finwork is extremely minimal.

They used a copper sticker on back the new 960 pro. Mmmmmmm, thermal heat dissipation.
