SSD/Heatsink Question
Posted by KatDevolved-@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 2 comments
Do i need a heatsink for a second SSD? My motherboard is ASUS PRIME Z690-P D4, the already installed SSD has a heatsink but im pretty sure thats the only built in heatsink on this motherboard. For the record my current SSD is the WD Black SN850 1TB gen 4, and im thinking of buying a WD Black SN850X 2 TB gen 4. I use the PC strictly for gaming, ive never opened the browser for anything other than youtube/twitch and i have nothing but games installed on it.
TIA

Yes, this board has only one heatsink.
The SN850X should be fine without one. If you are paranoid, add a third-party one like the Arctic M2 Pro, Thermalright TR-M.2 2280 Type A, or be quiet MC1.
