Email today from IceGiant.
 
TLDR: ETA was originally September, but is now October/November cuz they goofed on the structural integrity of a component.

This man-bird-thing speaks the truth

A cable tray underneath or mounting the power bars and such under the desk work well.

SLC caching is used for writes predominatly, not reads (which is what loading games does). Besides even a SATA SSD is just as good for loading up games, even with NVMe they do not use much transfer speed. it's only inferior when you've got ridiculous internet speed and SATA SSDs limit install speed.
 
This is of course, unless you play simulators with humongous save files.

SLC caching is generally for writes, game loading is reads.

No.

The Rocket has a minuscule cache compared to the Q, however it's almost 4x faster under sustained load.
I don't think that'd really affect game load times much though.

I mean, it seems like you already have the solution to your problem; just be more careful. It's not rocket science. Don't force the items into the slots with so much force.
If you're not willing to take the time to be careful, and do it the right way, then yeah, maybe avoid it.

When you install Windows on a unit with 2 or more drives, it will create the recovery partition on a separate drive. This is so that if the drive where Windows is installed fails, you can still recover Windows. If you don't have a second drive, it will simply create a separate partition on the same drive to store these recovery tools.

@JugsOfHolyness Ok just an FYI, Microcenter did it correctly they just forgot to format the 1TB storage drive, that's no biggie it takes 2 minutes if even that to do. Your picture shows Windows installed on the 500GB Nvme how it's supposed to be installed, so reinstalling Windows isn't necessary. You just need to format that 1TB in disk management and set it up as a simple volume. 
 
Reading through this post and your replies it seems you know a little bit about computers or just watch a lot of tech YouTubers as the stuff you asked microcenter to do was knowledgeable but your "better system" you recommended your friend is hardly better, you actually cost him more money and he got a similar if not lesser performing system. Anybody who has built or helped build a computer knows that $200 to build a computer and install Windows isn't necessary and that it's easier and cheaper to build it yourself. You technically knew that, you had him purchase the parts himself, but still had him pay $200 to have someone else build it... Do you not know how to put a system together yourself? You act as though you know computers, at least enough to tell your friend what to buy and do. But then you have never built one before and actually seem scared to, plus you don't even know how to set up a storage drive? It seems to me like you bit of more than you could chew and cost your friend $500 in the process. Not trying to be a dick but stuff like this really grinds my gears, if you don't know what you're doing ask before it's too late.

Steam games? Don't just cut and paste them over. In Steam go to settings and then library options. Create a new library on the D drive. Right click the game you want to move from the library and select properties, then select move to a different location. It will copy the files over for you and point it to the correct install location.

From steam settings create the new Library on the other drive:

 
Then for the games you want to move right click and select properties then move them to the new folder:

No, it’s only on one sssd. They just didn’t go through the steps to make windows recognize the ssd. Follow this guide to enable it (no hardware changes needed) https://helpdesk.originpc.com/support/solutions/articles/9000124011-how-to-add-a-hard-drive-to-windows-10- 
 
Then you are not using it properly. You are supposed to press the button thing in short bursts. Water comes out when you hold it down.

It is on the NVMe drive? Looks like you just need to follow these steps to make the other drive show up.

No, the 500GB NVMe is listed as boot. That means Windows is there. Not sure what's going on with that System Reserved jazz on the other drive, but all you need to do is allocate the 1TB. No reinstall necessary.

What are the chances of getting a custom design for non-content-creators, even if I'm offering to pay up the wazoo for it? <.<
 
I just want something simple like what V1 Tech does for GPU backplates. No crazy RGB or nuthin, just a simple picture of an anime waifu on one side of the cooler.
 

 

You can lock processes to cores in task manager, but for most programs, this won't make a difference.
 
What os? what programs?

5120x1440= 7,372,800 pixels
 
3840x2160= 8,294,400 pixels.
 
So if you are not watching any 4k videos or doing anything intensive on the top monitor, the performance should be about the same.
