Heatsink not included
GIGABYTE does not include any added heatsink but does say that the motherboard heatsink must be used to achieve optimal data transfer speeds due to the increased need for heat dissipation.
Per GIGABYTE:
“When utilizing AORUS Gen5 14000 SSD, it is crucial to pair it with a motherboard equipped with a built-in heatsink. The high-speed data transfer capabilities of PCIe5.0 x4 SSD demand efficient heat dissipation to maintain optimal performance and prevent thermal throttling.”
Other AORUS Gen5 14000 Models:
Altogether there are presently three different GIGABYTE AORUS Gen5 14000 SSD models ranging in storage capacities from 1 TB to 4 TB. While the 2 TB model offers the fastest transfer speeds the 4 TB is only slightly slower and the 1 TB model is slower than it.
