My 6th PC from PC Specialist. Like all the others this does not disappoint. Arrived well packaged with planety of charge in battery to get it up and running with no real preparation. Elected to have an NvMe SSD with 16GB Ram to run Windows 11 so a snappy start and set up was just a case of...

Still kicking specs and ditched watercooled option and also as suggested AMD looks a better bet than intel after a lot of reviewing on line. Is the jump up from 5900x Ryzen to 5950x worth it? Also suggested board out of stock so was looking at next one up = the ASUS® CROSSHAIR VIII HERO. I am...

Yes reviewing - will ditch the pure water cooled base and go for cheaper option - I do use a lot of storage but will reduce drive sizes and go for SSD and not mechanical drives. Upgrading warranty. Still gives me what I want with slightly reduced cost on non essential stuff

Thanks will have another look at this stuff

1. Gaming - all sorts incl flight sims 2. I have Iiyama 27 inc at present - not 4k 3 About this 4. Really not sure of difference

My existing 6 y old PC keeps freezing up and has so many possible issues Iwant to get a new one up and running before failure or lengthy diagnostic taking it out of use. My hopefully long term PC specs Case CORSAIR OBSIDIAN SERIES™ 500D SE CASE (LS) Custom Liquid Cooling Kit Liquid Series...

Thanks guys. After initial install did a speed test. The after watching a video I went back into Advanced BIOS and there was a setting for the M2-2 clot to change from x2 to x4. I applied this and the drive as indicated now shows almost double read/wrire speeds so seems a result. So I note the...

Can anyone help? I have installed and drive shows fine under Windows once formatted. Are there some BIOS settings that need changing? Thanks

I have a Desktop with a Strix Z270E mb. I am going to add a second M2 drive in the second M2 slot. Confused re various things I have read, Do I need to make BIOS changes before I can format and use it? Many thanks

Got it thanks - you have confirmed my latest thoughts. having downloaded and read the manual.

OK thanks - going to copy this info down - now understand - hopefully PC Specialist will have used lower numbered SATA slots

Ok I will need to explore the Bios - I can now spot the second connectors on the motherboard. Not sure what you meant by making sure I am not using SATA 5 or 6 already - do you mean exisitn grives? I have an M2Nvme plus 2 HDD installed.

so looks like I can just screw it in and set it up in windows - thanks

Looks like I can with further pokong around. The slot is on a different area of the motherboard

Hi I have a ASUS® ROG STRIX Z270E GAMING motherboard and I am trying to decipher wether or not I can add a second Nvme drive. Online stuff suggests I might but cannot see a second slot on motherboard pics? Can anyone give me a definitive answer ? Many thanks
