do you know what motherboard you have?

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0DZHXB351?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

Listing says AMD B650 Chipset Motherboard

[uncut harness]

if you search for "System Information" in the start menu and find your BaseBoard it'll say exactly what model it is

it should look similar to this

[uncut harness]

these are where your slots are located - your boot drive will be in the top slot

[unique siren]

so i got to remove the gpu?

4070?

5070*

[uncut harness]

you shouldn't have to - as long as it's not covering the bottom slot

unless you are replacing your current drive?

[unique siren]

no i was just hoping to add to it

The 5070 looks pretty chunky I can't see anything from below

:tada: Congrats @unique siren, you levelled up to 1! :tada:

[uncut harness]

yeah you should be able to - can you see the slot on your motherboard? it's the second slot highlighted

[unique siren]

Let me upload an image

[uncut harness]

alr

[unique siren]

That's under the gpu

[uncut harness]

yeah so the slot's right here - you can install it without taking the GPU out, just might be a little more difficult. it's up to you if you want to do that though - as it's not necessary.

can i pay cyberpower to install for me?

I bought it off amazon though

[uncut harness]

it's just one screw to install an m.2 but i think cyberpower will be ok with installing it

it's up to you honestly

[unique siren]

ok ill give it a shot

thanks for your help

[uncut harness]

np

[languid pivot]

Once installed you then have to format the SSD before you can use it

[noble surge]

m.2 to installations are pretty damn easy, so many guides online as well

i would not bother paying to have it installed

hopefully you got it figured out

[unique siren]

Hey guys

Where’s the screw to screw down the nvme

It’s not on the motherboard

[uncut harness]

usually drives come with one

[unique siren]

Not the £250 Samsung one I got lol

[uncut harness]

that's strange - i got a 970 evo plus from them a few years back and that came with a screw, i'd expect that it comes with a screw

[unique siren]

But when I got the pc I got so many small packets and I got 2 m2 lockers

Nah not even a screw

[uncut harness]

this sort of shows how to use it

[unique siren]

Is it suppose to be dead flat

[royal sphinx]

:tada: Congrats @unique siren, you levelled up to 4! :tada:

[unique siren]

Mine is slanted when I screwed it in @uncut harness

[uncut harness]

as long as it's connected and you're not bending it - it's fine

[unique siren]

Ok I formatted it but it’s showing 3.63 free instead of 4tb which I bought

[uncut harness]

all drives are like this

[unique siren]

So I did it fine?

[uncut harness]

yeah don't worry - mine are similar

[unique siren]

Alright nice
