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
