Hi folks,
I have an ASRock Pro4 Z97 (http://www.asrock.com/mb/intel/z97%20pro4/) and bought a 1TB m.2 Evo 850 SATA recently for more storage (not a boot drive and it was an open box buy so cheaper than a regular SSD, otherwise I would have opted for a 2.5").
As one can see on the product page, the GPU basically sits right over top of the m.2 drive. Also, the manual states "one can only choose the m.2 socket 3 or the sata express connector". Also, in the BIOS there's an option to switch from what looks like SATA 4 and 5 to m.2.
-I have a GTX960 in the PCIe slot (not OCing or anything) and it looks like it sits over top of the m.2 slot. Will it overheat the drive?
-Is there an issue with connecting an m.2 drive and the GPU? What about with using the regular SATA3 connections for other SSD's and HDD's at the same time as the m.2?
Thanks in advance!
