    I've been scouring their website, and I cannot find a slogan/phrase that works...

    EDIT:  MSI posted the following hint to Twitter today:  https://twitter.com/i/web/status/796050853916340224
     
    EDIT 2:  Found it!  It's on the MSI banner at the top of the motherboard page (it's a sliding banner with various companies).  Anyway, the slogan is:  PERFECT GAMING CHEMISTRY

    256GB should be plenty for Windows 10, Chrome, and the other things you've listed.
     
    The modern SATA connector is a lot less picky than IDE, and you won't need to set any jumpers, etc.
     
    I'm assuming there's currently an OS on the 480GB drive, as that sounds like the case.
     
    You'd want to:
     
    Remove the 480GB drive from your PC
     
    Connect the new 256GB drive
     
    Boot to Windows 10 installer, install W10 to your new 256GB SSD
     
    Once Windows 10 is installed and running, shut down your PC and re-connect the 480GB SSD. (Plug in SATA power, SATA data to any slot on the motherboard.)
     
    You should now have both SSDs plugged in.
     
    After re-connecting the 480GB SSD to your PC, boot up to the BIOS (Usually F2 or DEL when starting up) , head to the BOOT tab, and make sure your new 256GB SSD is above the old SSD in the boot order.
     
    From there, you should be able to boot into your new Windows install, and you'll see both SSDs.
     
    At this point, I would transfer anything off of the old SSD that you need, and then format it just to get everything off of it.
     
    Hopefully my instructions make sense.

    tkensei reacted to WoodenMarker in Question about Noctua NF-A14 PWM vs NF-A14 FLX, and NF-S12A   
    The NF-A14 is an excellent fan and 3 of them fit in the front of a Define S or R5 more easily than a NF-A15 but is slightly louder.If you're just going with 2 fans in the front, NF-A15's would be better.
     
    The Define R5 provides a 3-speed fan controller that provides 12v, 7v, or 5v to fans connected to it. Because it uses DC, you should go with FLX if you decide to go that route. Keep in mind it doesn't allow fans to reach as low of an rpm as pwm or dc from the motherboard. (~37% with the built in Define R4 fan controller vs. ~20% with dc off of the motherboard vs. ~7% with pwm)
