...there is a way? What possible application/need would make this necessary/feasible? Sure, my M.2 drives run hot, especially when doing continuous I/O for prolonged periods, but... Maybe I'm just inexperienced. (:

A heatsink will be helpful if you have room for one. A giant heatsink with a fan and heat pipes is overkill though. Even enterprise SSDs don't go that far. They just have a plain aluminum heatsink that gets cooled by the case fans.

Yeah, that's what's one mine. A plain fanless heatsink.
