Awesome. Thank you both. I'll see how it goes with and without the heatsinks and see what happens.

Can you link to the heatsinks you have? I've searched but I can't find anything I feel is correct.

I've heard of several people using a fan on their M.2 drives. Jerry from Barnaclues Nerdgasm has a heat sink on his from pudget systems with a fan pointed at it, Asus has a file to 3D print a fan holder, the video Linus just released shows the Dell XPS 27 with one. My question is, should I get one for my M.2? What kind of fan? How should it be mounted?

Ok cool thank you and I marked it as best in accident lol.

I'm in Florida and have been shopping online. I'm looking to spend around $20 per fan, but I wouldn't mind $30 if the noise and performance are good. I would even consider going higher if it's worth it.

I plan on buying a NZXT Kraken x62. But I am unfimilar with the fans. I'm honestly tired of fans that sound like a jet engine taking off and I want something as quiet as possible. I know the Corsair Quiet Edition fans are pretty decent and are very quiet. How do the NZXT Aer P fans compare?

I'm deffinatly not above doing that. Just wouldn't know how to start.

Hello all! i have 3 Samsung S24D300HL monitors and I want to mount them all on a single stand. Since Samsung doesn't use Vesa mounting, in having trouble finding a stand, unless I get a vesa stand and buy adapters which I don't want to do, anyone have any suggestions?

Awesome! Thank you both very much!

Hello everyone. I am about to build a PC for the first time. I'm going to use an ASUS Strix Z270E mobo with an m.2 SSD as my main boot drive, a Samsung 850 evo SSD for fast access and a WD Blue HDD for bulk storage. Ive been researching and I can't find a difinative answer on whether or not these come with the required cables. Obviously the m.2 doesn't need a cable, but what about the others? And what do I need to buy separately?

That particular switch doesn't swap the speakers, but does do everything else. Is there something that can swap the speakers aswell?

Hello all! i am building a new pc and I want to turn my old one into a media center. I would like to be able to quickly transfer from one pc to the other with a kvm switch or somethig similar. I want to be able to swap my monitor, mouse and keyboard, and my speakers when I do so. My speakers do require a USB and standard speaker jack just for reference. Any suggestions on a kvm switch or something else?

So I have a 3 monitor setup for my PC and I want to use the middle monitor for my PS4. For reference I use Samsung S24D300HL. Is a KVM switch the best option to switch between my PC and PS4, if so which one would you recommend? Obviously I could just unplug it every time but I'd rather not. #FirstWorldProblems

So I'm about to upgrade my PC. I got the "The motherboard M.2 slot #0 shares bandwidth with SATA 6.0 Gb/s ports. When the M.2 slot is populated, two SATA 6Gb/s ports are disabled." Note on PC partpicker. And I wanted to make sure I was ok with the storage I want. I plan to use an m.2 and the main drive. Use my current SSD for quick access of key programs And still use my HDD for bulk storage. I just want to make sure I can do all this with the mobo. This is is a direct copy from MSI under the storage section in the discription. • Intel® Z170 Express Chipset • 6 x SATA 6Gb/s ports* (4 ports reserved for SATAe) • 2 x M.2 slot* - Supports PCIe 3.0 x4 and SATA 6Gb/s standards,4.2cm/ 6cm/ 8cm length M.2 SSD cards - Supports PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe Mini-SAS SSD with Turbo U.2 Host Card** • 2 x SATAe port (PCIe 3.0 x2) *** • Supports Intel® Smart Response Technology for Intel Core™ processors for reference MSI Z170A M7 Motherboard Samsung 850 EVO SSD WD Green HDD Samsung 950 Pro M.2 SSD

I've heard overclocking a CPU is very difficult and can be really dangerous, which is the reason I said I would not do it, but the MSI board is supposed to make it easier. At this moment I'm not confident enough to do it. I wanted the liquid cooler because with the PC I have now it gets pretty warm in the room I am in. So anything to keep the temprature down in here is a plus. Also my climate is pretty hot where I live. I also wanted as much quite as possible. I did plan to overclock the GPU a little as I have some experience with that. I wanted the nVidia card for GeForce experience, I do like that software and shadow play is something I really like aswell. To my knowledge I do not have anything that uses USB-C so that isnt a big deal. I did look at that cooler and it seems pretty good.
