....why?
overkill & likely no actual performance boost.

Some gen 4 drives get really hot, and I doubt Gen 5 is going to be much better.

Over-engineered indeed. Just the controller needs the cooling, and the nand does best warm; one can reduce its lifespan if it runs too cool... but I guess that's unlikely, except under custom liquid.

I have active cooling, on my M.2, due to it being ITX, and the chipset fan being attached to the M.2 heatsink.

samsung 970 pro will thank you in any case, especially under load in summer without air conditioning in the room =)

without air conditioning in the room

m.2 don't slow down until nearing 80c.

and very few ppl will ever hit their storage hard enoguh to ever get that high.
