thx that confirms my previous finding. Since I dont plan to use any sata drive, looks like this will work just fine without any major drawbacks.

Z270 and NVMe

I did and found nothing Looks like I found something here: http://techreport.com/review/31172/msi-z270-gaming-pro-carbon-motherboard-reviewed/2 Not the same board, but same chipset. Using the 2nd M.2 slots with a PCIE SSD will disable sata port 5 and 6.

Z270 and NVMe

Im trying to find fome info on this, id like to know if, like Z170, using a pcie ssd into the M.2 slot will disable some sata port, or anything else (usb3 maybe?) I plan on building an Z270 Asus ROG build with dual M.2 slot, both NVMe compatible, but trying to know how I could be penalized...

Broadwell-E Owners Thread

Im a profotog as well and lately wanted to compare my 6700k build vs a 5960x 8cores that my friend just built (he owns a pc part shop) I did a simple Lightroom CC benchmark, exporting 1095 16mp raws to 100% quality full size jpegs. Both system on SSDs, plenty of RAM, etc. The 5960x @4.2ghz...

How much faster in real life would a new NVMe drive be than Crucial M4?

This is the sad reality for pretty much every home desktop computer. I bought an Intel 750 400GB and put my lightroom catalogs and all my raws on it in hope to speed things up, lol. If I could go back, for the same price id get a 1TB evo 850.

Multiple 750 drives

I only the intel hd graphics, and already have a 400GB 750 in the pcie 4x slot. I assume putting another drive in the pcie16x slot of my asus pro gamer mobo would work fine but id like to be 100% sure! I could get another 400GB for almost half the price.

SAMSUNG SM950 PRO NVMe SSD

I reinstalled them just to be sure, and getting the same result. I dont know that other anandtech benchmark got their result and it makes me worried that my drive is not all it could be. Even if this all overkill anyway with the same result or not and will probably never see the difference...

SAMSUNG SM950 PRO NVMe SSD

With power management disabled in windows 10, its better but the samsung still leads. I also installed the nvme driver from intel and the lastest drive firmware.

SAMSUNG SM950 PRO NVMe SSD

Yes, large slot. Will look into the pcie power management options in the bios. I only have PCIE native power management disable/enabled. Is that it? Its disabled by default.

SAMSUNG SM950 PRO NVMe SSD

I dont even have these transfert size (.5 and 8192.0) available? It is indeed set to gen3 in the bios. I have an asus z170 pro gaming board, and the intel drive is set in the 3rd pcie slot, could this be the problem?

SAMSUNG SM950 PRO NVMe SSD

Just tried it (also have the intel toolbox wich updated the firmware and have a trim option) While I did get better result, your 950pro seems to be much faster. Is the drive really faster or something wrong on my end?

Asus Z170, Windows and CSM

Yeah, I went with a full UEFI install with CSM disabled, better now with a fresh windows install with only a few apps installed than in 1month. I was kind of amazed of it took about 10min with a usb drive to install. And that was only usb2 !

Asus Z170, Windows and CSM

Havent built a new system in a longgggg time I was out of the loop for this one. I installed Win10 on a skylake machine with CSM enabled, and my friend told me I should reinstall windows with CSM desabled. Is it only a boot thing? Should I really reinstall everything again without CSM?

Intel 750 add in vs 2.5"

If you never plan to do any SLI, would you choose the add in card vs the 2.5" form factor (with the proper connector hyperlink etc) ?
