Heatsink recommendations for a 4Tb WD Black SN850X NVMe SSD

[thebastiche]

Can I get some recommendations for a good heat-dissipating heatsink for a 4Tb WD Black SN850X NVMe SSD?
It will mainly be used for gaming. Thanks

Heatsink void warranty so be careful if stickers ,etc remove when taking them off.

Does your motherboard not have m2 heatsink ?

There are loads but take a look at the

Thermalright HR-09 2280 PRO SSD heatsink ther is a non pro version.​

I like the Jonsbo heatsink on my Samsung 970 EVO Plus and never once had any issues with the drive while it was installed.

Would a gaming type workload require a heat sink?

I got xClio xCold m.2 Pro SSD 22x80 Heatsinks included with my drives when I bought them. My OS drive runs between 30-46c and my games drive between 33-42c based on about 30 hours of uptime. The OS drive is under the GPU and the games drive is just about not. No idea if the heatsink is helping as never had a run without them on to get baseline temps.

Came here to ask for a low profile heatsink for this exact drive. It can reach 76C under load. This is within spec of the drive but it does worry me. No, the motherboard doesn't come with a heatsink.
