I think this is what you meant? View: https://imgur.com/iYbJg9h My F drive is just a USB I have connected rn.

I just checked my power settings and it's set to "turn off hard disk" after 20 minutes, is that possibly part of the issue? I know my main driver for my computer is my SSD, not my m.2, so not sure if it even affects the m.2, should I tweak this at all?

Thanks! Will do that.

Thanks for the suggestion! I had never heard of reliability History before. I checked it and besides yesterday, (one of my games crashed for an unrelated reason and it shows that so I know it is tracking stuff at least), the only thing today is around the same time of the m.2 disconnecting, it...

CMD says I'm on BIOS 1801. I know when it first disconnected I was on the phone with support trying to resolve the issue and they had me update my BIOS before we figured out the issue with the disabled slot (ASUS told me to update BIOS, I know majority say never to do that). PSU would be about 4...

So just about 2 months ago at the beginning of January I invested in getting the Crucial T500 2TB Gen4 NVMe M.2 Internal Gaming SSD so I would have faster loading times and wouldn't have to constantly be low on storage. Initially, I had an issue with it not registering the drive at all, but...

Also I did much more digging into that chart and my SSD and HDD are connected to the SATA6G_5 and 6 slots, which the manual says would be disabled if I install my m.2 into the m.2_3 slot, meaning I had to go with the m.2_2 slot and hopefully that works perfectly fine.

Update: I contacted ASUS support and after a long phone call trying to explain what I meant, they answered my question. If anyone else needs to know this in the future, you can remove the protective film that's covered in the word "remove" (don't say duh cause it's not that simple) BUT, as I...

Definitely have a different manual cause those pages are different. Even if it does show that in the pre-build summary it should be put in the m.2_1 installation page, no reason it shouldn't. Either way, that is not what this post is about, if you read it properly I was asking about thermal pads...

Would it do any harm to my motherboard/pc in general to have the unused heatsink on without the pads until I have something to put there? Do they need the thermal pad if there's nothing to connect it to?

I have the ASUS z590-plus wifi motherboard and just recently bought an m.2 so I could have much faster and larger storage. I installed it on my top M.2_1 slot, as the manual suggested and everyone on the internet said it was the fastest spot to install it. I've spent the last 3 days scratching...

Thank you for all of your help! I heard Noctua would probably be the best choice, I think I'll go with the U14S to be safe, does the 5 degree difference shorten the lifespan that much? If not it doesn't really bother me as long as it's not a dramatic difference. Thanks again.

I don't want a jet engine, but I don't mind an average amount of noise. I just want what's best for my CPU now that I won't have liquid cooling. My CPU is an Intel Core i7-10700K My case is a Phanteks Eclipse P360a which according to Newegg has 160mm cooler height limit. Do you have any...

A couple of weeks ago my computer started running at about 5 fps max, and after exiting the game to restart my computer, it would not shut off. I ended up having to turn the PSU switch off just to get it shut it down and when it restarted it said that the problem was my CPU overheating. It was...

So with my MSI 3070 Suprim X do you think it would be too close to the radiator and would cause problems? Even if the fans are blowing towards the GPU?
