Hello. Quick question, do I need to remove the label on the NVMe SSD to install the heatsink?

    Which label are you talking about?

    to txki,

    Yes, an SSD heats up like any electronic component. SSDs tend to get a bit hotter than HDDs. Some motherboards have a heatsink underneath which the SSD is placed. Some SSDs come with a slightly thicker heatsink that we need to attach on top of it. We can also add a thermal heatsink for M.2 SSDs that can be found on the market.

    Hello Jean26843326,

    For this type of SSD, you don't need to use a heatsink, it doesn't heat up.
    Regards!
