I'm looking for a nice M.2 SSD at 256GB and a bigger bulk SSD at 1TB. Whats the best for both according to price/performance. Looking to spend about $150 on the bulk SSD

So I don't know anything about hdd's or ssd's other than ssd's are faster. Can you guys please link a good M.2 ssd at 250gb; an hdd at 1tb; and a normal ssd at 1tb. Don't worry about the budget. Also, I'm thinking about going for the classic 1tb hdd and 250gb ssd for windows. Tell me if there's...

Ok thanks guys. I had no particular FPS issues in any games I was just wondering if there was anything wrong. I switched to XMP mode and swapped to performance mode. The possibility that I'm going against OC'd systems sounds about right. One last question though, will leaving XMP mode on affect...

Mmmmmm switched to XMP mode and way better results. Any idea whats up with the GPU now?

http://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/7994180 This is my benchmark I'm obviously not unhappy with my PC, I'm just curious why it says what it says. I just refreshed my PC so there shouldn't be anything in the background. It feels like my PC has been slower since I upgraded my CPU, Motherboard...

I figured it out. There are two m.2 slots on the motherboard and the one without the shield doesn't work, but the other does. And if you get your ssd working but your hdd isn't the keep in mind that m.2 slot takes up SATA1 so move to SATA 2.

I went to Advanced\Onboard Devices Configuration and when I go to m.2_2 PCIe Bandwith Configuration I cant choose m.2 mode as shown in videos. (It’s not there.) can someone give me a step by step guide on how to enable it? Please be fast I’ve already spent like 10 hours on this shit. The ssd I...

I have random pc shutdowns while playing Overwatch. I bought a brand new 650w evga gold+ psu and I'm still having the issue. I was thinking it's because me and my brother share the same power strip for our monitors and computers but it doesn't happen to my brothers pc. So whats wrong? What...

so it appears that heating isn't the issue. i have a feeling its my cpu voltages. got any info on that?

So while i was in my BIOS i was watching my temp and just before it shut down there wasnt a temp spike. heres a pic. https://gyazo.com/6b3de4fab9c9601ea4afd03fcab652f2

@mrmike_49, my pc restarts before I can even begin the test and sometimes before I can even launch anything. I will swap mobos and cpus with my brother and see if that's the issue.

First off, my specs: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/sjFxWX The last thing I did to my Pc was i installed the Corsair H60 CPU Liquid Cooler. That was a few weeks ago. and I havent done anything since. Yesterday, I was playing Overwatch (a game) and my pc restarted itself twice in 10 mins during my...

I figured it out. I had to go to BIOS and enable m.2 SATA mode. Now everything works. Thanks for the suggestions! I can always rely on Toms Hardware for technical support. :)
