Does anyone use anything (heatsink) to cool their m.2 down? If so, do you think it makes a difference? What do you use?

    If you mean performance or life difference, probably not. If it's open in the chassis airflow, not buried under other devices/boards where a heatsink wouldn't fit anyway, temperatures are unlikely to get anywhere near where performance or life would be expected to decrease. Jack E/NJ
