Hi all! Recently, I purchased two NVMe drives, but the M.2_1 slot, which is powered by the CPU, does not recognize either drive. However, the M.2_2 slot recognizes both drives without any problems. Here are my specs (Have linked the relevant Items for Ease of investigation) Motherboard: MSI B550 PRO VDH WiFi CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5700G GPU: AMD Radeon RX 570 RAM: 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 NVMe 1: Addlink S70 Lite 512GB (Currently is being used as the boot drive in the M.2_2 slot) NVMe 2: Samsung 980 1TB What i've tried so far BIOS Reset Boot without the GPU Tried manually setting the PCIe Gen in bios Switched from UEFI to CSM and back multiple times Switched from AHCI to RAID and back multiple times I contacted the store, and they told me that the M.2_1 slot is Gen 4 only. However, after checking the motherboard and CPU specifications, I found that the M.2_1 slot should technically run as a Gen 3 slot. Any Advice/Help is Greatly appreciated Thank You!

Im just looking forward to play PUBG lite and some CSGO with some pre 2018 AAA titles on 720p with atleast 45fps And RE2 remake i know it would be playable or exceed my expectations with the 1660 inside but considering the upgradability in the future i guess i should go with the 3400g i dont know though but thanks anyway Also does the channel or the CAS of the ram matters more for ryzen?

Thanks for your reply sir!
