[SOLVED] When put into pcpartpicker I get this comparability message.

Solution
it does not really. you just have to be sure you don't plug a sata drive into the disabled port. they are numbered so its easy to accomplish.

other than that, there is no problem as this is a normal thing for motherboards to do. the manual will tell you what gets disabled so as you're putting it together you can avoid that port.

you can save a ton of money going with a ryzen chip vs that expensive intel one. you'll save on the motherboard and cooling and then some. can knock a few hundred off the price as well by dropping that ram some. 64 gb is overkill for only a couple uses. i see hundreds in savings easily.

and 500 gb of ssd is nowhere near enough either if you don't have other options already.

here's one thought that adds more...

here's one thought that adds more storage and drops down the overkill stuff some. leaves room for whatever cooling you want though it won't need much more than a $50 air cooler and that's more than enough. saves about $300 and gets a lot more for the money.

Hi MiniFourTeen.

This message is just to tell you to check your motherboard to see if when you plug a M.2 to check if some of the SATA ports are desactivated. Since you do not have anything else but a M.2 in your build you won't have any issues.

Your board deactivate SATA6G_2 when there is an M.2 in the M.2_1 port.

If you put the M.2 in the M.2_2 port SATA6G_5 and 6 are disabled.
