Having some problems getting optimum video performance. R9 5900X / 32GB DDR4-3200 / RTX3060ti. My 60hz display limits me to 60 FPS, but I can't even maintain that. Usually around 50-52. I'm getting some minor tearing on certain screen refreshes even at that. Have two SN570s in primary and...

Pre info: My PC locked up a couple months ago and I forced a shutdown and turned it back on. When I did, I was greeted with a black screen that said “press any key to boot from cd or dvd…” I found it weird and just turned my PC off and on again. Magically the issue went away and it booted...

Hello, I have a PlayStation 5 (normal version with cd) and i want to expand my memory with 1TB SSD but in my country there is no licensed 300$ WD x PlayStation M.2 SSD so i immediately started searching for alternatives and found SAMSUNG SSD 980 PRO 1TB NVMe M.2 2280 and because this is my...

Does anyone know if the Lexar NQ790 is any good? I've seen tons of good reviews for the NM790 but hardly anything for the NQ790 which I think is newer? I'm struggling to find any reviews or videos. I'm leaning towards the NM790 as it's far more well known. Or if you can recommend something...

While trying to remove the preinstalled M.2 SSD heatsink from my motherboard, I ended up stripping the screw as it was ridiculously overtightened. I then tried removing the standoff it was screwed into, assuming it was also screwed into the motherboard. However, the standoff had apparently been...

UPDATED DESCRIPTION (1/16/2024): FIXED!!! I've made a post a couple days ago about the MSI MPG B550 GAMING PLUS motherboard. Recently, I purchassed and installed the Samsung 980 Pro NVMe M.2 SSD. The issue I found, was that installing that SSD into the M2_1 slot, I was only getting one lane...

Asrock B450M Steel Legend - is it worth adding another M.2 NVMe SSD via a PCIEe-to-M.2 NVMe adapter ? I'm asking for a friend who has the ASRock B450M Pro-4 F, but also for myself because both motherboards although they have a second M.2 slot it only supports SATA speeds. So I'm looking to...

Okay so this has been quite the experience for me. I've done computer stuff for over 10 years now but I've always just only been a hobbyist with it so there are plenty of things I don't know especially on the software side. (mechanic IRL so hardware is easier for me to understand) Over a year...

When I play games off of my 2nd NVME drive the game will crash randomly and the drive will disconnect. When relaunching game will not launch. I will do a system restart and the drive of the game will disconnect so files will not be found. This is all through steam but every file on that...

my pc: mobo: rog b360f gaming cpu: i7 8700 k gpu: 1080ti i'm thinking of buying a new ssd for my gaming pc it's almost 6 years old. So i was thinking even though my mobo is pcie 3, buying a pcie 4 nvme ssd will be better in the long run if i ever upgrade my pc. my current picks are: ADATA...

So I overheard that some motherboards have m.2 slots on the back of the board for easier access. I have a case that has a hole in the back for this purpose it seems. I'm wondering what AM4/PCIe4.0 compatible boards have this connectivity feature since I'm having trouble tracking one down. Any...

I was checking some prices for the new (and first) SSD I'm going to buy, and there are two options: 1- PATRIOT P300 (256GB) (Gen3 m.2) 2- LEXAR NS100 (256GB) (SATA 2.5") the prices are the exact same! [8,490,000IRR = 16.5USD] + it's on a reliable site so I'm pretty sure it's not a scam So I...

I'm building my system and am a bit unclear on which M.2 slots to use on my motherboard (this is my first build using M.2 drives). I have: AMD Ryzen 7700x CPU Asus Rog Strix x670e-f motherboard Two M.2 drives, both Samsung 990 Pro (a 1TB drive for OS/apps, a 2TB drive for games) The...

I just built this about a month ago using all brand new parts. My PC goes straight into BIOS now after working for the past month with zero issues. EZ mode doesn’t detect any drives in the boot priority section but when I go into advanced and look at my SATA and NVMe configuration they are being...

The 2nd M.2 slot, M2_2 in the bios, isn't detected more than 10% of the time. Tested multiple new drives in the slot, but it seems to be that the M.2 slot itself is malfunctioning. I have tried two separate bios revisions, 7D73v13 and 7D73v16 respectively. I refuse to RMA it without first...

My motherboard doesnt support m,2 ssd. I want to buy an m.2 ssd instead of sata ssd for future proof when I buy a new motherboard with m.2 ssd support. the only PCIE slot currently available is the x1 slot PCIE 3.0. So should I go for USB 3.0 ? or buy a new normal SSD.

Hi, I recently bought an HP Pavilion Plus 14-ey0625nd laptop and I decided to change the standard 512GB M.2 SSD to a 1TB M.2 SSD. So I opened the laptop up and changed the M.2 SSD, reinstalled Windows and now my laptop is making little popping sounds. I don't think it's the speakers because...

So, spent all night and this entire morning trying to get the desktop I built yesterday to boot with UEFI Bios. I have a SSD from my old desktop with Windows 10 Pro installed and when plugging it into the new desktop, it works fine and boots as normal. My new SSD is also discovered in bios and...

Where does one buy a M.2 2280 (or even 22110 if no other choices exist) SSD supporting TCG OPAL 2.0 and T10-DIF/DIX/PI? MY research has turned up an incredibly short list of SSDs that meet those minimum requirements, and there is no obvious way to purchase them à la Newegg, eBay, or Amazon...

I recently installed my second SSD, a 2 TB Samsung 990 Pro M.2 NVMe SSD, into my ASUS Prime X570 Pro mobo, however I am having trouble configuring it and specifically locating it in the Disk Management for Windows 10. It is installed into the M.2_1 slot, which is the CPU-related slot, and my 980...

Looking at the specifications for the MSI X570 A-Pro it tells me there's one M.2 slot supporting PCIe 4.0 and another supporting only PCIe 3.0. I already have a PCIe 3.0 drive connected to the 4.0 slot and I'm planning on buying a 4.0 drive, moving the current drive to the 3.0 slot and...

Hello all, I recently purchased a 2TB WD m.2 SSD (SN850X). I have a few drives already setup, one being another m.2 (slot m.2_3) which is strictly dedicated to my OS. I installed the new SSD in the m.2_2 slot and I am not seeing it show in bios, device manager, or disk management. Wondering if...

Hello! I was wondering if my M.2 4x4 SSD will work on full speed if I install it in a M.2 5x0 slot? or will it only work as an 4x0? From my understanding I can physically install it but I do not know ware the 4 lane split is. I dont know if any manufacturer does motherboard with 5x0, but mine...

Ello! Got myself a new M.2 SSD to install Windows 10 on. I boot a Windows installation USB in UEFI mode and run the installation up until the point the installer does a restart. After restarting, it throws me back at the start of the installation. If I remove the USB during the restart or try...

About to upgrade to a sabrent rocket 4 m.2, and it comes with a pretty chunky heatsink and thermal pads. I've also got a single thermal grizzly minus pad 8 - will I see any kind of significant cooling upgrade to go with the thermal grizzly? or are the included strips somehow better? I'm not...

Hello, I am in search of a high-performance NVMe m.2 to PCIe 4 16x or U2 to PCIe4 16x expansion card. The adapter must be suitable for continuous operation in a data center and be able to accommodate up to 4 NVMes without presenting a bottleneck. I've found some seemingly good ones from Asus...

Hey guys, Just found an old laptop sitting around HP Pavilion dv6-6b55ea The motherboard is a Intel® HM65 Express and I was wondering if I'd be able to install an m.2 ssd in it? Need a second opinion as I did a little bit of research and didn't find any m.2 slots on the mobo online. Thank...

Hey, I just booted up my PC for the first time today and it just restarted and gave me a BSOD WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR, then would post with a message saying to choose a boot option. I go into the BIOS to check the boot priorities to see my cloned Sabrent SSD no longer being recognized. Any...
