The Samsung 980 Pro does not come included with a heat sink. For PS5, Sony says you must use a heat sink. I recommend, EZDIY-FAB M.2 SSD heatsink 2280, Double-Sided Heat Sink, High Performance SSD Radiator for PC / PS5 for PCIE NVME M.2 SSD or SATA M.2 SSD- Black It fit perfectly on my 980 Pro and fits perfectly inside my PS5. There are some articles online that will have list of PS5 size perfect heat sinks.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Is it okay to install a heatsink on an M.2 SSD with a built-in heatsink? No. If your M.2 SSD has a built-in heatsink, we recommend against adding any additional heatsinks. Doing so may reduce the effectiveness of the built-in heatsinks. This is from sonys website, so the other person is wrong

You can use any basic M.2 heatsink. search amazon for heatsink with the PS5 recommended dimensions. Here is what they recommend: Dimensions (including cooling structure)Smaller than 110mm (L) x 25mm (W) x 11.25mm (H)
