Yep looking forward to getting it up and running. As someone posted above it looks like my MB doesn't support a duel boot system with the sata drives plugged in so today I'm gonna back up what i need then unplug the sata drives and get windows installed on the ssd. Ha yeah about those smaller...

So finished work today, opened the pc again and slotted in the ssd at an angle no bother. Didn't even have to remove the cooler. Was much easier doing it in broad daylight as opposed to artificial light last night. Was pretty tired as well last night which wasn't helping my frustration levels...

l'l have another go at it tomorrow after work. Right now I feel like throwing the pc out the ****** window which clearly would not be progress lol

If you look at the 1st picture there is no slot for the thing to actually plug in and there's now way i'm gonna force it in. In the video the guy slots it in no problem. I've emailed western digital so I'l see what they say. I forked out £450 for a radeon 6800 that doesn't offer a display...

So I've watched that video about 8 times now and tried to replicate what the dude does and it doesn't fit in that slot either. https://imgur.com/nGZQAav How the hell is that meant to fit in there? I removed the screw just like he did but the screw on mine is tiny so not sure if its the exact...

Haha belter! I thought those 2 small sockets where were it plugs in lol. I watched that video and the socket I'm looking for is next to the ram slots, problem is I have a large cooler attached to the cpu so it's gonna be tricky getting it in there. Right I'm gonna power off now and have...

Ok here's another pic tell me you can see it https://imgur.com/IpDkZ7M I'm sure I don't have to explain why it wont fit in that slot.

Nope 100% doesn't fit in one of those 2 slots no matter what way I try.

I'm really hoping it's something I'm wrong se here goes. The sockets on the MB look different to the socket on the ssd. https://imgur.com/CdKmy4u https://imgur.com/aKeXJjP

So I purchased a wd_black sn850z 2tb m.2 2280 pcie gen 4 ssd but sadly it doesn't fit in my Z270X- gaming 7 MB. I gathered from this thread that a gen 4 ssd would only run at gen 3 speeds but it would it still be compatible? My MB does have 2 nvme slots but the ssd wont fit in these. Would I...

So I still haven't managed to get my Radeon 6800 working yet. I've tried different cables and updated bios, still no display which is frustrating. I've contacted customer service so hopefully they can provide a solution.

Cheers for the info, I'l try n get it working over the wkend, will probably start with updating the bios 1st.

It's the same cable that's in my 1060 now so cant be the cable surely? There's loads of other driver for my MB on the Gigabyte site should i just install them all and see what happens? I got those settings from my boot menu, I assume that what it means yeah but I've not messed about with bio...

Bios is from 2017 so that could be it. Safe and easy enough to flash bios these days? I remember it used to be a real pain. Looks like I've got the F6 bios version dated 3rd of may 2017. Looking at the Gigabyte website for my Z270X- gaming 7 MB it looks like the last bios update was March 18...

Ok cheers fella's looks like a 2TB SSD plus another SSD for my OS has just went on my shopping list.

So i bought a set of cables then and the 2 x 8pins fit into the radeon 6800 but the other 8 pin connector doesn't fit into my psu. I checked the type 3 cable i had plugged into my 1060 and the connectors fit into the radeon (cable has 2 x 6 + 2)and psu so looks like i didn't need to buy the...

Ok no bother i will drop corsair an email and see what they advise.

So i need a cable with 8 pins on one end for the psu and 2 8 pins connector for the gpu? The cable i've currently got in my pc is a type 3 4 pin connector which goes in the psu and a single 6 pin connector which goes in my 1060. Any chance you could a link to what i need to buy? I don't want...

It probably did when i bought it in 2017 but i've had a couple of flat moves since then so i think they're lost.

So my RX 6800 arrived but i've since found out it needs two 8-pin PCI Express power connectors. My old geforce 1060 just needed one 6 pin connector. Can someone direct me to the ones i need please? I assume my corsair rm850 psu will be compatible with the gpu power leads i need.
