NVMe speed near graphics cards improves performance significantly.
NVMe speed near graphics cards improves performance significantly.
Hello, your concern is valid. With your 2B4B motherboard and the graphics card blocking the M.2 slot, you might need to rearrange components carefully. The heat from your GPU could impact the M.2 drive’s performance, so ensure proper airflow. Using a PCIe X 1 adapter could work but may affect NVMe speeds—check compatibility with your specific model. Advise yourself thoroughly before making changes.
I haven’t installed the drive yet. Removing the graphics card might be necessary to reach the slot. I’m seeking advice on whether heat could become a problem since the drive will be close to the graphics card before you install it in the M.2 slot. You’re also planning to transfer Windows 10 and your games to this system.
