Question SSD with heatsink or just plain SSD for ROG Zenith II Extreme Alpha and future builds?

[soundmurmur]

Hi. I am looking to buy a Samsung 980 PRO vs Samsung 980 PRO with heatsink. It is going into an Asus ROG Zenith II Extreme Alpha. They are probably going to go into the DIMM2 slot. I expect I will buy a new system in 3-6 months. Should I go with the regular or the heatsink version?

If the heat-sink doesn't pose a problem with other parts, it might be a good idea.

It's never going to fit in DIMM slot (it's for RAM), it has to go to M.2 slot. Most new MBs have M.2 heat sinks already and that particular SSD is not a hot one.
