Hi, all sifu here
I’m planning to get a Samsung 990 Pro 1TB SSD as my second SSD for desktop gaming. Should I get with heatsink or without heatsink version?

It needs some heatsinking, if your mobo slot doesnt come with a built in (not all mobos have heatsink for second slot) then get the normal version and add your own heatsink. The OEM heatsink version are usually quite more expensive than add your own.

However if your not comfortable to do your own, just buy the heatsink version.

Thanks for reply. My consideration is my M2_2 slot is underneath the GPU card. The OEM heatsink version might not fit enough the room. sad.gif
