Not required. And it might block the OFFICIAL cooling case, but it’s a Raspberry Pi. There will be a hundred different custom cooling options soon.
The problem is that the M.2 thing still is a HAT, and basically sits about 10mm above the main board, leaving no room for proper active or passive cooling - or at least making it very complicated to achieve. Putting the M.2 slot at the bottom of the main board would have been a good solution that would have avoided a lot of problems.
I still can’t get over the tower cooler available for the Pi 4.
It’s completely unnecessary and I love it
