Hi all,

Just after some advice, the Maximus Code has two positions for M2 SSD, I am only installing one M2.2280, my question is, does it matter which one i use? There is a horizontal one under the MB cover, or a vertical one which you use with a supplied bracket.

I am using the Intel 600P 512GB that has no heat shield, if that makes a difference.

Any help and advice would be appreciated

Thanks
 
In theory bottom would run cooler.
Noticed with a friend the strix and the hero/code/max have the layout the opposite ends . for the top slot I have to either select 2x or 4x where as I believe your Code its the other way around. I benched my Pro and seemed Bottom. Was just slightly faster, but not by much to justify one over the other
