M.2_2 Socket Location sucess!

Dandytf

Found some time to remove rtx5070ti to view 2nd m.2 slot.
Thanks Reddit +mser’s
Most important gpu retention screw is back case bottom labelled m.i.c.
I prob didn’t have to remove 2xusb type bracket silver screws -are those 3mm i lost one,
Asus prime matx mb does have nice easy q release pcie-4 clip right of gpu.
Power cables are one connector.
@MattMattMattUK thanks can’t wait to make use of Clearpay to purchase Internal m.2
Added extra pic of reverse of case panel removed today- Immensie Scan Cable Management!
Correction missing Screw is little silver back usb Panel.

2nd M.2 slot often disables some other ports, make sure you check which ports it disables if you have others in use.

Only info from Asus is the x2 rather than x4 from pcie 4.0 slots.
thanks are Onbuy gen.

1080p 60fps, 2 clips before 2nd m.2 ssd is installed.

Only 99.9% success rate, Need m.2 Screw to arrive tomorrow and lost one attempting to use one from home.
Maybe 32 gb ddr 5 soon, new ssd is setup any way albeit screwless.

None of those screws, you do not need screws, your motherboard has as holder for the M.2 and you are not sticking it in a GPU bay, you do not need more RAM. Seriously, stop installing more stuff than you need, stop messing around with things that you do not understand and clearly are unwilling to learn about or you are going to do some serious damage and waste yourself lots of money.

Screwless Crucial m.2 too awkward to insert Screw , maybe decent magnetic screwdriver could help.
Only re inserted 5070ti maybe holding ssd down.
ddr5 -purchasing soon prob best to try slighter faster and 32gb rather than 5200mz 2x8gb
Bay Screw was re inserted today.

It is easy if you use the correct fixer, in the box with the motherboard that they sent you before there was a pick of the attachment for an additional M.2, use that!

Awful idea.

It will make no difference outside of a less than 1% difference in synthetic benchmarking. 

Genuinely, I give up after this. You keep making bad choices, again and again, you do not listen to anyone's advice, again and again. Fairly soon you are going to damage something important to the operation of the PC and expensive to replace and the supplier is not going to take it back/refund you/dig you out of a hole.

I mean this with kindness, you do not understand enough to be messing around with gaming PCs, leave the hardware alone, enjoy what you have, stop trying to install every game on GamePass and just play games, before you do some serious and expensive damage.

I am out!

Precision Magnetic screwdriver required, last weeks is not quite magnetic as expected.
2nd ssd is working,  Fixer isn't known for m2 screw I did notice standoffs though mb has one pre installed.
This Screw from mb pack looks similar to my own screws.
