Hello, I just turned on my PC. Everything seems normal except for the NVMe. It isn't being recognized by the motherboard and shows no drive detected. I know it should work since I used it on my laptop before. It's the only drive installed. The device is a Corsair Mp510 and the motherboard is an MSI Z590 Tomahawk. The NVMe is placed in the first slot. The BIOS is set to its default configuration. Any advice or solutions? Thanks.

This occurs frequently. You'll need to install the newest BIOS. There might be another MSI board available, such as the Z690 carbon version—this one doesn't recognize NVME in the default firmware that came with the board. Updating the BIOS will resolve the issue. Also, unrelated but I hope you didn’t purchase the Z590 Tomahawk brand new. 11th generation Intel has been completely surpassed by 12th generation Intel in every measurable way, including cost. If there’s still time to return, I’d consider Z690/12600k or B660/12400f.

On a 10th Gen CPU, place it in the second or third slots. The first slot connects directly to the CPU, but this option is only for 11th Gen models.

Excellent tip! I didn't realize 10th gen devices don't work with PCIe 4.0.

I assembled my entire system from auctions, acquiring all parts new at significantly reduced costs. Swapping the drive to the second position helped. I own a 10th generation model and opted for Z590 instead of Z490 since they were priced identically. I’m excited about upgrading to the 11th generation soon. This was a budget project; building a solid PC for £400 would normally require over £800. Thanks for the advice!

B660 paired with 12400 would likely add at least £100, unless you chose a poor motherboard and used the unit, which would still be around £70 more. For energy efficiency, pairing it with 3060 makes sense, but I believe I should stick with what I have since auctions don’t offer much value.
