Question SSD upgrade ?

[Nimrauko]

Good morning,

I bought an iBUYPOWER Slate 8 Mesh Desktop PC with a 1TB SSD and I was wanting to upgrade the storage so I purchased a 2TB Samsung 990 Pro NVMe SSD and was told that I would want to get a heatsink with it as it can get quite hot if one is gaming. So I bought the Insignia Heatsink Enclosure and wanted to make sure I have not made a mistake in getting it. I have never dealt with a modern gaming PC or NVMe SSDs.
The last computer I built was during the Vista era with the old timey hard drives.

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

What is the make and model of the motherboard that was paired with the prebuilt?

It appears to be an TUF GAMING B650-PLUS WIFI. It hasn't arrived yet (allegedly will be here Tuesday I am praying) but that is what I was able to get from the website.

Be careful with the pc warranty.

TUF GAMING B650-PLUS WIFI - already has heatsinks on both onboard M.2 slots.
A new heatsink is not necessary.

Very fast Gen4 M.2 drive. I have a couple 990 Pro's. Like SkyNet said, use your motherboard heatsink. My two WD Black SN-850X SSDs get a lot warmer than the Samsung does.
