Firstly, first post so Hi to all who read this :-)
Right, I have recently assembled my new PC, using the Extreme 6 with a 4790K, 8GB Dual Channel Team Group, a single Sapphire R290X and a new Crucial 128GB m550 M.2 Internal SSD for Windows Installation. Now apart from having to fiddle with what Sata ports were active when I installed the M.2 to the second M.2 socket everything works very well, windows installed and works fine. I did try the M.2 drive in the ULTRA M.2 socket, but the Motherboard did not detect it. Would I be right in presuming that is because the GPU is running at X16 therefore disabling the Ultra M.2? Could I switch the GPU down to x8, leaving bandwidth for the M.2?
Thanks in advance
Chris
