An M.2 drive needs a heatsink for a simple reason: after a longer spell of writing it heats up and throttles itself, and a heatsink pushes that moment further away. Axagon accounts for most of what is here; the models differ in height — 3, 6, 10, 24 or even 36 mm — so check whether one will fit under the graphics card. The rest are Noctua and ARCTIC mounting kits that let a cooler be fitted to a different socket, and wipes for cleaning off old paste.
