Hello, I've been looking to upgrade to the SAMSUNG EVO 970 Plus 2TB and was wondering if it requires a heatsink, I'm mainly planning to use it for gaming, This is my current PC  https://www.hp.com/us-en/shop/pdp/hp-envy-desktop-te01-1175xt the only things I have changed is that I've replaced the 1660 super with an RTX 3060 and the 400w PSU with a 500w PSU. I would also highly appreciate it if anyone had any suggestions for a heatsink if it is required. Thank you to anyone who can help

It is not required, but you can install one if you want.

Your PC's case has enough airflow already.

You can buy one online or at a PC shop.
