So PCIe 3.0 x4 is NVMe 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3?

Just for future reference so I can learn, how do I know that my motherboard supports said NVMe?

Hello everyone, I am looking to upgrade my SSD drive to an M.2 drive and I am overly confused. I am looking to buy the Samsung M.2 drive linked below, but I am not sure if my motherboard will support it because the SSD is NVMe 1.3. Can anyone tell me if the SSD will work with my motherboard...

Gotcha. So the performance is exactly the same as two modules labeled 3200mhz? (In respect to speed only, obviously i’m getting more gb with four sticks).

So you’re saying that my ram is fine, and I’m just seeing half the actual speed? I see 1600mhz and it’s actually running at 3200mhz?

I will for sure try this when i get the chance. I have a 2700x on an x470.

Why does it show 3200 when i use two sticks, and 1600 when i use four? Is it just split between the four slots? Are the sticks actually running at 3200 and my pc just reads it incorrectly?

You’re saying that two of the exact same kits won’t work together? I have never heard this, can you give some info backing it up?

Yes DDR4, so adding more sticks splits the speed amongst the two? This is why it was faster when there was only two sticks? Or is the performance of 4 sticks at 1600mhz equal to 2 sticks at 3200mhz.

Could this be because there are four sticks on dual channel? Each channel runs at 3200mhz but each channel has two sticks to divide the speed amongst?

Hello everyone, when I built my pc a few months ago I only bought two 8gb sticks of ram, so I could save money and upgrade later. Well now the time has come and I just installed the other two 8gb sticks making 4 total stick of 8gb memory. Here is the issue, when I had the two sticks previously...

Sub 500 is killer, I'm for sure going to look into the 1600 vs 2600.

I like the 2600, any idea what FPS this system could push on mainstream titles (max graphics) 60-80 FPS?

Hello everyone, I built my first PC a few months ago and loved the challenge and everything involved with it. Now my friend wants to get into PC gaming but wants to start out with a $500 budget for the PC, can anyone recommend me components? I'm thinking about an RX 570/580 and a Ryzen 2200G...
