Fitting MVME drive - Help required...

[darael]

This reminds me when I bought and installed my first M.2 drive. I thought it would come with a screw, so you can imagine my surprise as it didn't, followed by the hunting down of my motherboard box, which I had no idea kept the screw well tucked away from plain sight - if I remember right, it was underneath a piece of cardboard that the motherboard sat on.

3 slots for these drives on my Mobo and only one screw supplied....I guess someone must sell them lol.

Is it a new board? Asus sometimes supply a plastic hoop thing which can be lost in the manual, or the M.2 slot is fitted with a latch rather than a screw.

My mobo (Z690 Gaming X) also only came with the one screw for the primary M.2 slot. The 3x chipset M.2 slots below the GPU came with no screws!

Thankfully my case came with a box of screws for basically everything inside the case so am covered

Gigabyte boards have like a click flap, no screw necessary - only for the heatsink.

They do not! Screw is needed, I know this because I literally installed a Rocket 4 yesterday in the bottom slot behind the screwed down heatsink panel.

Hmm mine definitely had a plastic clip thingy that would have held it securely in place if I didn't want to bother with the heatsink.
