M.2 Cooling

Do you guys use any cooling or a heatsink on your M.2 drives and if so what kind

On my current board yes as its got no passive cooling. I use copper foam, iirc about 20x20mm (maybe 25x25) squares with 3 on each drive. This was done around 3 years ago, today I'd just look for one of the proper heatsinks you can get from WD/Corsair etc etc.

Is there any particular heatsink you would recommend I've had a look but not too sure

A YouTube video done a big rundown on them and there was a cheapo 5 quid one that did really well

I will have a look

The sabrent one does well on my SN850.

Nope, Samsung Evo 970 that has it's sticker on that sort of acts like one but not using one with a big cooler attached.

I guess it depends on the board you have and weather it fits as well
