could be interesting for motherboards without cooling plates, but only in that case from my tests with various aliexpress nvme coolers and corsair MP600s, the motherboard cooling plate were always better as long as you have good airflow in your case (tested on a z390,trx40 and 2 different x570)
BLEH!
How much of an issue is throttling for M.2 SSDs?

it depends on the workloads.
but if you have massive files like in content creation or compiling it would affect everyday usage.
for most here where the most massive files are game files (that aren't transferred often) no big deal.
i have massive files and i like to keep my rig as cool as possible so i bought a mobo with three heatsinked m.2 slots.
1st or 2nd gen mobo's (with pcie storage) are the ones that would need this the most as some have zero heatsinks, most have only one.

That's a bold claim. My PCIe 4 nvme is running at around 30 something Celsius when idle and around 50 something Celsius under "load" (compiling code). If you remove 20 Celsius to that you get the improbable temp of under room temp when idle and close to room temp under load. I have MB heatsink but they look relatively cheap and well came with the MB ...

It sounds more like you have your ssd in a freezer or your temp measurements are off. My 970 EVO plus idled between 55-60 and hit 90 under load, with ambient temp around 20. Now I have a Sabrent Rocket heatsink on it and it idles at 40 and hits about 60 under load, a 30° difference.

Any heatsink can lower the temperatures even more if it has rgb.

I used one too on my b450 tomahawk max ii. I buy it from thermal Grizzly. But the main question here is, do you guys remove the stickers on your m2, or leave it and apply the heatsink and thermal pads?

I'm still sad that U.2 never became the standard as it keeps the SSD away from the GPU/CPU area of the motherboard and allows for much better cooling. I currently have my M.2 drive in a 2.5" U.2 adapter and it runs significantly cooler than any review I've seen of the drive. The heat problem is just going to get worse as drives keep getting faster so unfortunately things like this cooler will be basically mandatory.
Wishful thinking: as E1 (EDSFF) becomes standard in enterprise the desktop market could very much benefit from switching to that instead of keeping M.2 for desktop.

I removed on mine but i dont think it'll make a difference either way.

So both my nvme drives report false temp? Maye my mb nvme heatsinks are better than they look. Important to note that all my cable management is done behind the mb tray and i have 3 intake fans blowing air directly at the gpu, ram and nvme and my cpu is cooled by an aio cooler with the heatsink placed on top of the case. BTW 30 something means something in between 30 and 40. It varies depending on how hot it is in my app.
