Do M.2 slot SSD’s really get hot enough to warrant a cooling method? I build PCs from time to time, but I never heard anyone say “and don’t forget the SSD cooler!”
The high performance ones can end up throttling under heavy load
But do people really need the high performance ones? Or is that just marketing doing it’s job convincing people that double the read/write speed will actually improve their system?
Or is this not really for gamers (most PCs in build) but for workstations? Open to learn
People doing stuff like video work benefit from the high speeds, people just doing gaming can probably avoid the top tier of storage
According to linus tech tips it is no necessary. But regarding quality standarts I wouldnt trust that source 100% percent. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lQmI5A27Iv8
Interesting vid regardless, thank you! It seems that cooling them too much isn’t recommended. I can see the practical use case when copying huge files often, though
Yeah, maybe if you have a server with a few of them and they are being heavily utilized.
