Thank you, that was exactly what I was looking for and informative.

But do you know if the x2 and x4 interfaces are any different and if, say, my laptop had a x4 slot only, if I could put a x2 Nvme in that interface?

I know this is quite late, but I only just now checked my account. What did you go with and what was the outcome?

Im wondering if 2x can be plugged into 4x, and vice versa. The connector on the 2x I found looks very different from all the 4x, so I am not sure.

Thanks for absolutely not answering my question at all. I already said the speed difference of x2 and x4 isnt a big deal for me since its still a massive upgrade compared to a HDD.

Im looking to buy a very entry level gaming laptop for school that I can use for LAN parties. Most laptops have 1TB HDDs which I find the speeds unbearable, so I was planning to put a Nvme M.2 in the laptop. My question is, can a Nvme 2x SSD fit in a 4x slot and vice versa? Im not sure if they...

You seem to have a pretty decent CPU, so upgrading your GPU is more likely a better option for better performance to price. You should make sure your PSU can handle a high powered GPU, Because the RX 460 I own is powered through the PCIE, and a better GPU is likely to be powered through a...

I haven't been staying updated on each generation since Ryzen 1, but with AMD, there tends to be a lot of hype about each new generation being 2x better than the competition, at a fraction of the price and tpd, and it is rarely ever true. But it comes down to you. Personally I play all the time...

Not an expert, but I will help. A last resort is to try and reinstall windows. But, have you reinstalled things like microsoft directx and such? What about reinstalling games, and or the platform like steam. Have you checked to see if the radiator is clear, and not stuff with pet hair for...
