SSD M.2 Heatsink - Does it need it?

[BlueDusty]

Hi,

Just wondering if a M.2 SSD actually needs heatsink or does it purely depend on how hard you are going to work the system etc.
I heard the heatsink mentioned on another post but have not considered one for.my daughter's PC build.
Is it just a case of, as I am doing a new build, for £10 get it done, or is their pros and cons about them.

As they say every day is a school day,.so thanks for helping me learn more!

Ok, sounds like.a no brainer then for the cost of the heataink unit. I will get on OC later and make sure I order one.

Any recommendations on the best one to go for or they all very similar?

Thanks again for the help
