Hi

I intend to use 500Gb M.2 NvME drive on Asus Crosshair VII motherboard.

Question is: Can I use this drive as a boot drive for Windows 10 please?

Currently doing just that on a MSI B350 PC Mate motherboard so you should have no problems doing the same..

Thanks a lot. Are you using the stock cooler or a third party one please?

I've got the CPU under a custom water loop.

Sure, Nvme over m.2 is designed for fast booting. I'm booting off an m.2 with Ryzen.

Me too!
My board had the slot and when I realised it, I bought an NvME drive and compared it to Sata.
Quite a nippy little thing it is!
shutdown and restart on my PC right now is about 7 seconds from desktop to desktop, but I have just done a fresh install of Win 10.
