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.
Active ssd cooling is probably overkill but they can certainly throttle down to barely working speeds if they aren’t properly cooled. I could see there being scenarios where something like this is beneficial.
SSD waterblocks are also a thing
That looks really cool. Pun intended.
Yeah there’s even ram waterblocks which are extra unnecessary https://www.titanrig.com/custom-pc-cooling/water-blocks/memory.html
I was having a hard time getting out of bed, but this made me laugh and woke me up in an instant. I mean... Sure. Why not. XD
