I found a 2TB 990 Pro SSD with a preinstalled heatsink for $30-40 less than other 2TB options. Is there any downside to using the preinstalled heatsink instead of relying on the motherboard's heatsink?

Definitely go for the preinstalled heatsink! It's designed for that SSD, so you should get good thermal performance. Just avoid using the motherboard heatsink alongside it unless you have specific cooling needs.
It really depends on your motherboard! If your motherboard has decent cooling, you might not need the preinstalled heatsink. But overall, the 990 Pro is a strong choice. Just remember to update the firmware to address any issues like write amplification.
