As my Samsung 970 EVO Plus drive sits at around 50c little more than light use, I am wondering if it's worth looking into a heatsink and fan for it before summer comes.
I have read of heatsinks just soaking the heat and spreading it to other components on the drive. This doesn't sound a good idea, as I would be relying on the case airflow to draw heat away from the heatsink as it passes.
A heatsink and fan sounds better, as at least the air will be pushed away by the fan. My only fear is creating noise from a whiney fan.
I'd be interested to see what others have done, if anything, and how well their drives cope.
