I purchased a new "Team Group" MP44Q M.2 drive which comes with a "graphene label" that acts as a minimal heatsink.

I also purchased a nice copper heatsink to go with it which comes with a stick of thermal compound tape.

QUESTION: Do I remove the graphene label before attaching the copper heatsink? If not, do I apply the thermal tape directly to the label for best contact or do just lay the bare heatsink directly onto the drive?

TIA.
