I don't always agree with you bud, but I do appreciate your opinions and research to arrive at your opinions, and I also appreciate that when you help someone, you don't just GIVE them the answer, you show them how you ARRIVED at that answer, thats how folk learn.

Also, respect for reading the motherboard manuals lol, I do that every build too just to be safe and I always felt like a newb reading them, but you really should read them cuz things change so much.

[THOSEnotEFFECTED]

I actually read my manuals too and i bought the msi gaming force Z590 for the I9 10900k basically for the build quality and look of the board both. It's nice to know i am not the only one even if i know something who actually reads manuals. Thats just playing it smart i think. I even take my time reading multiple reviews and watching reviewers because there is always something to learn if your building your own pc that you might miss and could end up making a purchase you kick yourself for. Rock on tech and Rougue!!!

The whole rtfm has saved me so much time with servers, one of those little things that honestly isn't worth the time except for when it is, then it can save you hours over not reading which makes up for all those other times.

In addition using a PCIE card in the PCIeX4 slot to put a M2 NVMe is also a good idea to get better thermals, my SN850 was cooked in the mobo... With a X570 mobo I didn't suffer any performance loss neither

[ShomyMK]

That is great suggestion with the m2 to pcie x4 m2 card slot, I have one on my x370 it works perfectly, but be warned some of them have speed limits ( they are saying it is 3.0 pcie x4, but it is not). And yeah I checked the mobo how it works and I had to use second x16 slot for it, at least the x370 chipset has some value instead of the b350 lol

I know not everyone always likes reading instruction manuals when setting things up, but for motherboards your manual can be an absolute god send. Reading mine saved me a lot of time setting up my rig, always take the time to get it right the first time.

I have a 590 board with a Rocket Lake and have all three M2 slots filled. Works great. Top slot is a Gen 4 nvme, bottom two are Gen 3.

Even though this video's a year old, its still good content! Thanks!

I always read the manual on my motherboard so I know it's features and it's limitations, also for future pc system upgrades I like to read the manual for the new motherboards online and pick the best one that's in my budget

[atibakojo]

This was extremely helpful since I am in that situation. Didn't make sense to get a 11 gen. I'll just do the work around. Or use it as an external drive.

[HellsingGhrey-htwg]

This is actually interesting and informative. Wow. I've gotta start reading those motherboard books...I wonder who actually designs the motherboards...

[MissCloud]

My Z390 can use both, manual had no preference. Older Skylake board only had one. I don't have as high capacity of a large/multiple nvme use case though.

[MrGrombie]

Is it the same with the Z790 boards with 4 slots?

[tranquilthecat]

RTFM I always cross reference the manual on every build, especially for Bios info.

[patrickprafke]

I gave 2 Samsung 950 pro's on riser cards in my X58 system. Works great.

[tibielias]

Once you figured out what PCIe lanes are, how many you have in your motherboard and how their configuration changes when you slot a component in (yeah, you need to read the manual for that), It's pretty easy to master it.

[sf]

There are 5xx series MSI boards that have a switch that will let you run 3rd gen m.2 in the top slot off the chipset

[glennedward]

Z590 Aorus ultra top NVME works fine with 11900k. Didn’t know this was even an issue when i set it up last year. I did however notice my sata 1 port doesn’t work with an NVME in the top slot due to the fact it has shared bandwidth.

[OledBurnInKing]

I have the 9900k with a msi z390 godlike motherboard with 4 pcie gen 3 slots and I have 3 nvme 970 evo plus 2 of them are 2tb each and one 250 gb and 2 sata ssd 1tb each 860 evo, my motherboard came with an additional expansion card for the pcie gen 3 to add 2 more nvme. I could have a total of 5 nvme as well as 2 sata ssds to go along on my motherboard if I wanted to. I might consider it if 6.25 tb is not enough storage by adding 2 more nvme 970 evo plus at 2tb each with (10.25 tb) to be determined. I thought about having two 2080 ti's for 4k but I decided to stick with one 2080 ti since I wanted to game at native 4k with rtx on but dlss off and ray tracing does not support nv link that's why I decided to stick with one 2080 ti. At one point I was considering an rtx titan or an even a 2080 ti kingpin but I don't have liquid nitrogen. My motherboard has an overclocking knob for overclocking to 5.7 ghz. I decided to get an evga 2080 ti ftw 3 instead since I'm not gonna be doing alot of benchmarking or going for breaking records. This is gonna be an extreme overkill, but I wish cpus could overclock to 10ghz, gpus at 10ghz and ram at 10ghz. I hope in the future that graphics for games would be so detailed and lifelike and advanced that it would be hard to tell a difference between a video game graphics and watching movies in 4k with lots of details, colors and hdr. Basically it would be interesting if games were made in 4k like having movies on a 4k uhd disc uncompressed. They would take tons of data and storage but the graphics would be insane and so immersive.

Hey guys so I have a question. I have a Gigabyte Z590 AORUS PRO AX motherboard Intel i9-11900k . This motherboard has 4 M.2 slots and i am thinking about getting a Samsung - 970 EVO Plus 1TB PCIe Gen 3 x4 NVMe Internal Solid State Drive with V-NAND Technology to add to my storage. So from my understanding the first slot is probably the slot i wouldn't want to use so which M.2 slot would i put my new ssd in?
