Does this SSD need a heat sink? null

Hello, Thank you for reaching out! We are happy to help clarify whether your Crucial T710 1TB PCIe Gen 5 NVMe M.2 SSD needs a heatsink. The T710 produces high amounts of heat under heavy workloads, and non-heatsink versions of the Crucial T710 must be installed with a motherboard or alternate heatsink to achieve optimal performance. https://www.crucial.com/ssd/t710/ct1000t710ssd8 If your motherboard already includes a built‑in M.2 heatsink (common on many modern boards), you should be good to go. Otherwise, we recommend adding a compatible M.2 heatsink to keep temperatures under control, especially since Gen 5 SSDs can run warm during heavy workloads. Crucial T710 SD also comes with preinstalled heatsink: https://www.crucial.com/ssd/t710/ct1000t710ssd5 Meanwhile, if you have any further query, please feel free to visit our contact page: https://www.crucial.com/support/contact to know about other ways to reach out to us.
