Can anyone point me on the right direction? Has anyone owned a MSI Tomahawk B350 AM4 motherboards? I know I need additional screw on top to put M.2 NVMe in place. I need it. Thanks. See pix: https://storage-asset.msi.com/globa...-tomahawk/msi-b350_tomahawk_plus-overview.png Clearly, I need another screw on top of it. The topmost of the screw is smoothen'd out, there's no gap in-between. I'm confused.
https://anonfiles.com/F0n3ucpdvc/m2_screw_top_jpg Whoa... I had to take a closer look. There's a screw I need to take it out on top of it. LOL! Apparently it's missing . If anyone knows the proper size, I would appreciate that!!
You can goto best buy or the like, and they can help you. I had the same issue, I took the plate off of my lower m2 slot, and got a screw from that. They're small screws, and not typical, why these m2 drives dont come with screws is beyond me. It's like damn, I spent 400$ on your product, cant you hook me up with a screw?
BestBuy? They don't sell components - maybe a few. Radioshack, maybe? I checked BestBuy online, they don't have it. Ordered on Newegg: https://www.newegg.com/sgtkjsjs-ls08-d-screws/p/0PS-00H6-08UG2?Description=M.2 screws&cm_re=M.2_screws-_-0PS-00H6-08UG2-_-Product This is what I am looking for: (m2 x 3 mm) flat head screws.
Okay, I managed to get the screws I needed. However, read n' write is only 850 MB. TeamGroup M.2 MP33 is rated at 1.3 GBP/s. Do I need to do any tweaking? I checked the BIOS and it's configured as is. AMD MSI Tomahawk B350 mobo. Thanks!
I have to say.. major improvement while gaming; ZERO STUTTERS, ZERO CRASHES, ZERO glitches. HDD sucks major ass man. Even SSD. Now I can play Legion Watchdogs on Ultra and DX12. On HDD, I get crashes one so many times. Sigh. Now I am so procreating happy .
