I thought it was a good idea as the last time I built a PC, RAID was faster, but with the new M.2 I found out after I made the RAID and had the OS installed. I now have Macrium and now I can do this transfer after I have made an image and reinstalled it back on. Thanks again for your help and...

This is great news! I was researching and it was suggested that one M.2 is just as good as a RAID 0 with two M.2 NVMEs. Thank you very much USAFRet.

Dear USAFRet, Thank you for your kind reply. I am a tech noob, so this is what I did. I used the utility on the motherboard to create a raid and the RAIDS are listed there. I watched a few YouTube videos and created the RAID on the motherboard first, made sure that was working then installed...

I am a new subscriber, and I was wondering if I could ask a question if people had a minute. My question is can I install the image to just one m.2 drives and delete the raid on the c:? I created a raid 0 with two m.2 NVMe drives. Both are 256Gb each. This setup has been working for 3 years...

Hey all.. Happy New Year! I was wondering, I was building my pc and when it got to the time to put the heatsink onto the CPU, i did it, but afterwards I realised that I left the plastic covering on the gold part of the Coolermaster NEPTON 120XL. I haven't been able to get the CPU working...

Hey Scout_03, Thanks for you advice, I tried to reset the cmos, I also removed the battery but they didn't work, as the codes are still there. I am going to make a ticket with MSI and ask them for further advice. Thanks again forums for all your help and I will return with the update to...

Thanks scout_03, I will give that a go and let you know.

Hey all, Thank you for all your help in the past with getting my PC together, I am almost there, just a few quirks to nail out. On the first attempt to build I forgot to remove the plastic sheet on the Cooler Master heatsink (gold part) that sticks onto the CPU. On resetting the watercooler...
