    Samsung 960 Pro NvME on older z77 mobo?

    Actually I think the board I would be fine. The P8Z77-V Pro is the one with dual PCIe for SLI or Crossfire. That board specifically states "single in x16" or "dual in x8 " for the 2 slots. Mine seems to be meant for non SLI/Crossfire setups and one other secondary PCIe2.0x16(but it says x4...

    Samsung 960 Pro NvME on older z77 mobo?

    Seems to be the general feeling there Dew so perhaps you guys just saved me some coin. Regardless I'm curious about something. This Asus board I have the 2 PCIe seem more meant for video cards and they share the same IRQ...can that PCIe_2 slot even be used for an NvME? Here's the board...

    Samsung 960 Pro NvME on older z77 mobo?

    Sounds like it's not going to be worth it. On a similar note I upgraded my Radeon HD 7970 to a GTX 1080...only notice a small difference on very large 3D rendered projects...little smoother and less lag but hard to warrant to $650 cost for what I got.

    Samsung 960 Pro NvME on older z77 mobo?

    I don't game but this is my personal home office pc for which I use a program very much like SolidWorks. It's all 3D rendered model building. There are a number of internal functions I thought I could benefit from faster load times. There's really no difference between SATA SSD and NvME SSD...

    Samsung 960 Pro NvME on older z77 mobo?

    So me not so stupid..lol. Still pondering the upgrade but just looking at paper specs I shit my pants. I know real world use vs. paper numbers is another matter but I have to believe load times will decrease dramatically over a typical SATA/SSD.

    Samsung 960 Pro NvME on older z77 mobo?

    Appreciation the time! So there is no way to clone Windows 7 x64 install from my OZZ Vortex over to the NvME that would work? It has to be a fresh install per the NvME instruction set I read for creating install disks with Win7? Really trying to avoid that and it would prob generate enough...

    Samsung 960 Pro NvME on older z77 mobo?

    Giving thought to upgrading my OCZ Vorex4 SSD to the subject posted one. Problem is my mobo does not have an M.2 slot but found a suitable PCI3x4 adapter that will work. Then the issue becomes that the UEFI latest Asus bios I have does not support NvME. I read a write up of how one can mod...

    Strange DP cable and GTX1080 issue

    I've just unmasked the strangest thing I've ever seen in a DisplayPort cable, current hardware at bottom. I have a new Zotac 1080 AMP Extreme that replaced a Radeon HD 7970. I did a normal process of card swaps...driver removal..power down..drain power etc...New card powered up into Windows 7...

    which mobo

    I wasn't to woried about the not getting USB 3.0 & the 6gd.sec SATA with the M4N. I have a 1TB & a 500GB external WD My book and both are USB 2.0 and I'm not interested in upgrading that. It's fast enough and I have backups scheduled and it's done in the background so I could care less how...

    Trying to decide between the two following boards and I'm stuck. Anyone have experience and or preference between these boards? M4A89TD PRO (AMD 890FX chipset) M4N98TD EVO (Nvidia 980a chipset) I've been an AMD fan for years and always had good luck up until my last system. Asus A8N32...
