Hi, In regard to my Asrock Z370 Tai Chi Motherboard, I have 2 identical m.2 drives, the only port that will recongnise them is m.2_3, neither of the other 2 will show them in the bios or windows drive manager I have tried both drives in all ports and both only work in m.2_3 I have unplugged...

Cheers! Thanks for your help, very useful and appreciated :)

Oh sorry, cooler master artic freezer pro 7...I was looking at the corsair h100i, which is why a new case would also needed to house it properly...that's why I thought if I have to rebuild might as well swap the motherboard over to if the asus sabertooth would be a worthwhile upgrade?

Great answers thanks! Would the throttling cease with better cooling? would i see even better performance with the core performance boost working as intended?? Im looking to upgrade to a Sabertooth fx990 and NZXT Phantom case, do you think id see a more stable system with better cooling with...

Ok, so I was playing wither 3 running fine then randomly it seemed shut my PC off instantly I thought this was probably due to overheating my fx8350 seemed to be running high even at idle so I did some in game tests a it has hitting 80, this is with an aftermarket cooler installed, I guessed...

Oh yes many hours wasted trying to link up those bad boys in the right order to get the damn thing to boot, they were so temperamental... I'll have a look at all this tonight/tomoz and if it all goes pear shaped you can come and sort it lol

I spoke too soon! , I forgot to ask, the HDD's have jumpers on them, is that still any kind of issue regarding SATA, should i set them all to Master/slave etc? just wondered if it could cause congficts

Yeh I'll probably go with that, right i'll try and leave you in peace for a while and I'll let ya know how it goes or if i run into any issues Cheers for the help, it's appreciated

Its mentioned on this page, so I guess its an option if I run into this issue again... http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-windows_install/cannot-install-windows-7-from-usb-error-setup-was/4b3c0430-9e41-47f6-b1cd-aed55fea7dad

Oh right, I thought id read somewhere it has to be the 2nd boot option, so OS set up didn't give the error "setup was unable to create a new system partition", which is what i experienced in the past when tying to install from USB to HDD in the past I was guessing this is so the system doesn't...

Was thinking of installing to OS from USB thinking that should be a lot quicker with the SDD, ifs thats the case is it worth disconnecting to DVD drive too, or would you think its a more straightforward option from the dvd? I have to make the SSD the primary boot device don't i in order for the...

I'll crack on with it tonight n tomorrow and get back to ya, thanks for your help so far let me know when i start bugging ya lol :)

Cheers, I'll let you know how it goes! :) Will i be ok to overlock the DDR to 1666 without additional cooling do you think? just thought it might bottleneck, do you think that build is decent for a while?

Ok thats great thanks, i'll check it tonight when i get in from work, I'll let ya know how it goes or if i get stuck :) Dose the TRIM option for the SSD need to be turned on in windows or will it be set up automatically? New to all this SSD stuff, hope its a simple a plug in and use when come...
