    Mobo compatibility for PCI-e NVMe (Intel 750)

    I was lucky to win the NVMe SSD you are referring to in a raffle at PAX Prime last year, but what everyone is saying is correct that it should work fine in a mobo with PCIe slot. I finally just installed mine in a new rig a few days ago and it's working fine.

    I'll check the version when I get home, but I did update it after I installed Windows 10 using the Live Update utility. I'm assuming it's 1.4.

    Ebay: new 6700k, 309.99

    I tried to run XMP 3200mhz for the TridentZ last night and it failed to find my NVMe SSD. I haven't had a chance to try the manual settings yet, but I figured I would expect some trouble since the specific modules I purchased wasn't listed on the compatibility list. I used two fan header...

    Recommended Fan Setup for Fractal Define S & SLI GPUs

    This case (windowless) came default with 2 140mm fans. One for intake, and one for exhaust. Newegg currently has 20% off fans right now, so I'm wondering how I should setup additional fans? It can fit up to 9 fans (3 top, 3 front, 1 rear exhaust, 1 bottom intake, 1 side). I will be using SLI...

    MSI Z170A SLI Plus LGA 1151 Motherboard Review @ [H]

    I went with a Noctua NH-D15. Haven't finished the build yet due to some case standoff screw stripping issues, but hoping to resolve that soon.

    Does anyone still make them like they used to?

    I previously was using a Lian Li PCB-10 which I loved. I just got a Fractal Designs Define S, and out of the box everything seemed great (design, included parts, packaging). However, my mobo standoff brass screws got stripped and I can't even fasten my board down. I never had this problem...
