no If it is a regular laptop ( not a gamer)

Hello, we thank you for your query and appreciate your interest in Crucial products. Crucial P3 SSD is the latest addition to our P-series NVMe SSDs and it does not always require to install the SSD with a heat sink. Heat sink is necessary only when the drive is over used. Generally the specified operating range for most Crucial SSDs is 0 °C to 70 °C (or 32 °F to 158 °F).So if the operating temperature of the SSD is normal, heat sink is not required. Also in some systems heat sinks are inbuilt. So if you could help us with the make and model of your system we could assist you better. If you have further questions, I welcome your reply.

Not necessarily, it depends on the environment your laptop provides. Most likely, your laptop won’t accommodate space for a heatsink, but there is sufficient airflow to keep things in check.
