    Question Can you use an M.2 SATA drive in an M.2 slot if it doesn't specify NVMe or SATA ?

    If you mean my Asrock motherboard it does. It does clearly state SATA. But the Gigabyte one doesn't unless I completely missed it? It says:

    Question Can you use an M.2 SATA drive in an M.2 slot if it doesn't specify NVMe or SATA ?

    So when it doesn't specifically specify and it just says m.2 it can do both? is that the consensus?

    Question Can you use an M.2 SATA drive in an M.2 slot if it doesn't specify NVMe or SATA ?

    I want to buy another 1TB drive and my current motherboard (Asrock B450M Pro4-F) supports only SATA M.2 drives in the additional slot. I want to buy something I'll be able to carry over when I upgrade in 3-4 years time. I had a look at some of the new AM5 B650 motherboards like the Gigabyte...

    Question Trying to get sound from HDMI or Displayport from R7 260X from different cables. One cable to TV for HDR one cable to AVR for 5.1

    I managed to fix it last night in the end by uninstalling both devices and getting windows to delete the drivers and then running DDU for good measure and I got Windows to install each device one at a time using its own drivers instead of donwloading the official AMD drivers and now it works...

    View: https://i.imgur.com/omE1A5w.png View: https://i.imgur.com/I2khnED.png That's what it looks like. In Sounds where it lists the playback devices there is more further down but it all looks the same there are multiple instances of Digital Diplay Audio etc

    Question Trying to get sound from HDMI or Displayport from R7 260X from different cables. One cable to TV for HDR one cable to AVR for 5.1

    Windows 10 I'll do some screenshots in a bit as I'm still at work. In terms of setting up the default audio output the only option that is usable is the HDMI that goes to the TV and that's the only thing it sees as connected/enabled. That is in Sound - Playback Devices. Nothing else can be...

    Question I'm trying to use a GT 710 and Vega 8 Integrated graphics simultaneously but it says Windows has stopped this device ?

    Bios upgrade fixed the issue! I'll test later with the sound to see what's what. Thanks! edit - I can't make the sound work how I want, it seems the HDMI from whichever GPU is set to display on the TV but the HDMI connected to the receiver is not detected.. so back to the beginning. I feared it...

    Question I'm trying to use a GT 710 and Vega 8 Integrated graphics simultaneously but it says Windows has stopped this device ?

    It does audio passthrough through the HDMI cable so it just passes the digital signal. AMD high definition audio driver is installed indeed. I actually use the Vega 8 as per normal but when I plugged in the Gt710 and asked the BIOS to force the Vega 8 to work as well, Windows doesn't like it. I...

    Question I'm trying to use a GT 710 and Vega 8 Integrated graphics simultaneously but it says Windows has stopped this device ?

    I thought you might say that.. I was going to do that later anyway (at work atm) but I was hoping there was an easier fix maybe. I'm using this PC as an HTPC so I'm currently running an audio passthrough via the HDMI when the Vega 8 is running without the GT 710 through a Yamaha RX-V377 AVR...

    Question RGB PSU 24-pin/PCI-e 6/8 pin extensions - are they safe to use? NZXT C1000 says not to connect other types of cables?

    Just wondering if there are any issues using RGB extensions for PSU 24-pin or GPU PCI-E 6/8-pin extensions because although they don't plug in directly to the PSU they plug in to the cable itself and most modular PSU manufacturers say not to use cables meant for other PSUs so I was wondering if...

    Question NZXT RGB Fans not changing colour from white when I change it in NZXT CAM ?

    In case it helps anyone I hadn't done all the Windows updates so clearly there wasn't enough communication between NZXT cam and the motherboard. Mods/Admins - feel free to delete this thread
