Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Thanks! Based off of this it looks like the other cable I already had will do the trick. :) And thanks to everyone overall because you all saved me a few dollars too. Hate to spend money unnecessarily.- BlkRazor

Thanks for the advice. I've generally just grabbed one off the store shelf and not thought too much about it. It's been just over 4 years since I bought the one I've got but I have more to "protect" than I did then.- BlkRazor

Yes, the power cord. Several reviews I looked at for some of the cables on Amazon mentioned the cables catching fire, smoking, melting, etc. Scary stuff. Now that you mentioned using that power cord from your monitor, I think I have an old power cord laying around somewhere too. Might try to...- BlkRazor

Thought about that too. It probably is time to replace my current surge protector anyway. Part of the issue though is where I'm moving it to will be higher up on a shelf so the current cord won't reach my the surge protector I have now. You have the GE one you mentioned?- BlkRazor

I also came across this: Sabrent M.2 SSD to 2.5-Inch SATA III Aluminum Enclosure Adapter (EC-M2SA). Listed on Amazon for 10.00. Supposedly offers full M.2 speeds in a SATA enclosure. Edit: Oops. After further investigation, looks like it doesn't work at full speed with NVMe.- BlkRazor

It looks like Asus has added the Strix B250 and H270 Gaming itx boards, both of which are less expensive than the Z270. They both come in under 120.00 and still include the dual M.2 slots. Might want to check them out if you end up having to buy a new MB...- BlkRazor

I was considering going with Ensourced if only to get custom cables quicker. Just checked and they need 14 full days for custom modular cables. Can't win for losing I guess. Also, what's the estimated shipping time to the US from Poland? I think someone asked before and it was 2-3 weeks?- BlkRazor
