    I mean the Apple Store is a good bet. If they cant or refuse to fix, maybe a repair shop that is local. I know here in the US, you can throw a stone and it like 50 repair shops whom claim to fix Iphones.

    Your best option is to go to the Apple Store, since this is just a forum. (No offense)

    Firestrike reacted to TrifectaIII in SSD + HDD setup need help   
    Ok, so interestingly I just remembered that I had this exact issue on my old laptop running Windows 8, and that the only thing that changed it was installing 8.1 when it came out. So my guess is that a reinstall might help. I tried to find a setting for this on my current windows 10 install, but like you was unable to find anything.
     
    What is interesting is that I'd actually like to have it work the way it works for you, I'd rather have them work like static shortcuts rather than how they currently work for me. If you do find the setting, message me or something lol.
     
    Sorry I couldn't be of more help especially since this is something that I have experienced. Wish I could do more.

    I think you should go for an i5 then, and not a Skylake one.
    By the way why do you need an M.2 SSD ?

    Except DX12 will prefer more cores and the OP wants the build to last 4 - 5 years. In addition the OP stated he has 800 - 900 USD for THE REMAINING PARTS, which gets a build like this:

    get the 980ti, never set out with SLI in  system unless its 2x tops tier.
     
    2x 970 > 980ti generally. however, they use more power and require SLI support in the game and generally the min fps is less than a 980ti.

    Firestrike reacted to KemoKa in SATA SSD vs M.2 NVME SSD   
    I'd go for the SATA SSD because, as I said, your motherboard likely doesn't support the 950 Pro, which is a PCIe Gen3 M.2 drive. Even if it were supported by your board's slot, I wouldn't get it because it wouldn't operate at normal speeds.
     
    A normal SATA SSD should more than suffice for your needs.

    Firestrike reacted to KemoKa in SATA SSD vs M.2 NVME SSD   
    Rethink this - your M.2 likely does not support PCIe Gen3 because it's on a consumer motherboard. All the PCIe lanes go to the graphics card slots. If you want an NVMe SSD, you need to plug it directly into a PCIe slot that's at least a Gen3, and the BIOS has to support the standard, afaik. Most modern ones do, but if you had an older motherboard, you would likely need to update the BIOS to one that supports NVMe.

    But I'm fairly sure that your M.2 slot is not 32Gb/s.

    True, but NVMe should be treated separately from M.2, because "M.2" covers a really broad range of SSDs

    Depends what SSD specifically. Just because an SSD is an M.2 version doesn't necessarily mean that it'll be faster than it's 2.5" SATA equivalent, and just because your board has an M.2 slot doesn't necessarily mean it'll support NVME drives natively.

    "M.2 SSDs" aren't necessarily faster. Many of the lower-end ones often run on the exact same SATA 3 6gbps interface and therefore speeds.

    I think the fans on the top will cancel themselves. What about the CPU fan, are the fans on the top part of the AIO ?
    I'd put the ones as intakes on the front, and the other ones as exhaust fans.

    You can try putting only one fan on the top if you experience negative pressure.
