Hello,
I was just about to buy one of the smaller (256 GB) m.2 drives, the XP941, when I read this in my motherboard manual, "When you overclock the BCLK frequency, it is recommended that you install the M.2 PCI
Express module to the M.2 Socket (M2_1)". Anyone know exactly what this means and why it would be like that? The M2_1 slot that it recommends using is the slower PCIe2 x 4 slot, not the new ultra slot. Does this mean that using a drive in the ultra slot is likely to inhibit BCLK changes? I was hoping to buy a smaller capacity PCIe2 drive like the XP941 and get a second (faster) m.2 drive that uses the full capacity of the ultra slot, like the SM951 when it is released. Does anyone know:
1) Will I have problems using both m.2 slots?
2) If I eventually use the ultra m.2 slot, will I not be able to overclock the BCLK?
Thanks for any help!
