m.2

Hi, I am having problems installing an M.2 drive on Asus Z390-E ROG Strix motherboard. I need to take off the heatspreader to access the M.2 slot on the mobo. The screws holding the heatspreader are impossible to unscrew - they're so tightly screwed (or they used a thread locker) that it's...

I was just wondering, having installed my new 970 M.2 EVO with windows and using it as a primary drive, I have been getting BSOD's like theres no tomorrow. At first it was the reason: Critical process died, but recently its been DPC Watchdog Violation, followed by me having to hard reset my pc...

So I have a 970 pro nvme and I am looking to increase my nvme storage on a new build by adding a second drive, So my question.. Has anyone done NVME / m.2 raid and is it even worth it / noticable in day to day use? or would I be better off just adding a second drive and using it as seperate...

This is really embarrassing for me to ask but I can't seem to find the right answer from browsing motherboards on OCUK site or watching youtube videos. So I'm doing some research on upgrading to a Ryzen build in the future, bare in mind the last time I built a PC was some 10 years ago and have...

Hey folks, Having concluded that mATX boards for X470 are not going to be plentiful, I'm seriously considering downsizing to ITX instead. I have 2x16gb Trident Z, and I feel like that will probably last until DDR5 is a thing. However I've noticed that a lot of ITX boards seem to put the m.2...

Hi all, Late summer last year I put a new rig together using an Asus Z270F (i7 7700K). Storage for the system is currently configured with: 2x Samsung NVMe 960 EVO's (one in each M.2 slot on the motherboard) 4x Samsung 850 Pro 2.5" SSD (using 4 of the available 6 SATA ports on the...

With a SATA SSD you can unplug it from one PC and plug it into another. Is the same possible with M.2 drives?

Hi, Currently on a 4.5ghz 2600k, 32gb ram, gtx980 and a sata SSD. I'm starting to notice my cpu is limiting me highly, I often download youtube vids and re-coding them takes ages, work with encoding and editing dashcam video's also could be faster. Also I like keeping everything running, and...

Hi guys, I just need a bit of assistance with my new Ryzen build. After first boot up with my Motherboard I updated the BIOS via Live Update which bricked the Motherboard. But I've heard this is a known issue that MSI & Overclockers both know about etc. So I was issued a replacement. That...

I purchased an ASRock Z270 Pro4 a while back. This has three M.2 Slots. In the manual, one (Key E type) is dedicated for Wifi. The other two are indicated to be for SSDs. I've now gotten a hold of an intel tri-band 12860 WiGig adapter which has M.2 form factor, but with Key A. This doesn't fit...

I'm confused and wondering if anyone had a similar setup, or can read better than me. Tried googling but getting conflicting information. Currently: Rampage V (USB 3.0), SLI GTX 970 (16X, 8X) and a 5820K (28 Lanes). I was toying with getting a SM961 M.2 NVME but have also got the Galaxy S8...
