M.2 SSD Heatsink

[Master PC]

My Crosshair VIII Hero X570 has a built-in heatsink, and I got a 2TB Samsung 970 EVO Plus. 

 

Should I stick to the motherboard’s SSD heatsink, or I’m better off buying another heatsink for better cooling performance?

that ssd shouldn't be hitting any temps that even require a heatsink on it which is why it doesn't have one.

Samsung drives have a software tool called samsung magician which can show you temps and do a performance check so I would use the motherboard's heatsink and run the performance check while watching the temps in the software. It should be absolutely fine with just the motherboard's heatsink
