Do the QB120 v2 quantum boards from HLG generate enough heat to warrant a heatsink?

They are 'only' 70W each, and I intend to wire 2 in series, one will be inside of my tent attached to the sides of a 600W air cooled reflector (with an HPS bulb) because it's spread of light doesn't reach out to the corners very well and I'm hoping adding 2 of these will supplement that.
In any event that's irrelevant, I just want to know if they need a heatsink at all, or if they run cool enough not to need that?

Cooler temps means longer life.
