Posted January 2, 2019 Which M.2 slot do I install my Optane module in? I have an Aorus Z390 Ulta motherboard. No m.2 slots used (yet). Manual doesn't seem helpful on this, nor youtube. Thanks!

Posted January 2, 2019 Any of them, they all connect to the chipset so it doesn't matter other than appearance, they all got heatsinks, no difference at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any m.2 2280 slot (the longest m.2 slot), not any of the slots. 8086k aorus pro z390 noctua nh-d15s chromax w black cover evga 3070 ultra samsung 128gb, adata swordfish 1tb, wd blue 1tb seasonic 620w dogballs psu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 4th M.2 slot is key E, hidden and pre-occupied so the 3 M.2 slots that can be accessed all take 2280. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 2, 2019 Author Thanks all! LTT forums kick ass over r/techsupport. So, not the short m.2, either of the longer m.2s, perfect, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
