I've just upgraded to an MSI 3070 ti Gaming X Trio from an MSI GTX 1070 Gaming X and I'm noticing that my custom fan curve in MSI Afterburner doesn't let it stay at 0 RPM even though it's temps are below the point where the fans should start kicking in. I've also noticed that there's a yellow...

Used latest media creation tool from microsoft website, made a bootable usb flash drive which I booted from after boot screen in bios which took me directly to the windows installation screen

Yes, I reinstalled with just 970 plugged in. I have no idea why my recovery partition says OEM.

If you refer to my sata drive being AHCI, then yes, that's what I read in the bios too. I stayed away from settings that sound like they're gonna change ahci mode to intel premium idk what. I don't know what it means to change the mode of a drive like ahci, raid, intel rapid storage. I keep them...

Asus Rog Strix z390-e i'm not sure about this reinstall bit, because the previous reply was a strong no.

I have replaced my old boot drive (samsung 830 series) with a 970 evo nvme. I also have a 1tb 850 evo sata ssd as main storage drive, for further reading reference. Initially I was having trouble installing windows and booting from nvme - it would still try to boot from the old boot drive...

I have unplugged ALL sata drives and this time it worked. However, I had another storage sata ssd which would now not appear in windows explorer. The drive was detected in BIOS, but not in windows. I assumed it was connected in a disabled sata port and moved it, but still no result. While I...

I'm trying to replace my old samsung 830 sata boot drive ssd with a new 970 evo m.2 and use the 970 as main boot drive, while removing the 830 completely. The m.2 has been installed properly on the motherboard, bios detects it, windows (on old ssd) detects it, I can access it's space -...

Thank you :) unfortunately I tried removing the heatsinks to look at the sockets myself and now I realize I can't unscrew the heatsinks at neither. They're screwed too damn tight! Edit: I only tried to unscrew. Never touched the heatsinks since I took it out of the box.

Build in signature. When reading it's storage specifications, it says this: Intel® Z390 Chipset : 1 x M.2 Socket 3, with M key, type 2242/2260/2280 storage devices support (both SATA & PCIE 3.0 x 4 modes) 1 x M.2 Socket 3, with M key, type 2242/2260/2280/22110 storage devices support (PCIE 3.0...
