I have a M.2 drive nvme 950 pro 2tb. Trying to make sure the O.S. is booting from the stick. little timid to mess around until someone looks at my specs and could give me some info on the process. Also, I have a 2.5 SSD WD 2tb and it doesn't seem to read when I get to windows.

Also, If I can get confirmation that I did that part right. Is it safe to overclock my ram and cpu? If so could someone point me in that direction.


Help is much, much appreciated, thank you.

CPU -i7-8700k
RAM -Tridentz RGB CL17-3600
Cooler - Kraken x52
SSD - M.2 drive NVME 950 pro 2tb
SSD - WD 2tb
GPU - GTX 1080 ti 11gb

m.2's can be a bit finicky but as long as your boot order (advanced mode > boot) in the BIOS shows Windows Boot Manager as first and you chose the m.2 for the Windows install you should be fine. As far as the ssd not showing up, you may have to initialize it in disk management. Either search disk management or right click the the start menu for the admin menu and go to disk management. Once there the SSD should be there if working correctly. Right click > initialize > Format if needed and it will pop up in Windows explorer where it should be.

Be careful with overclocking if you've never messed with it before. The ASUS EZ Tuning makes it pretty easy but even with that make gradual changes over time i.e. raise it a bit and see how the...

The ASUS EZ Tuning makes it pretty easy but even with that make gradual changes over time i.e. raise it a bit and see how the temps and performance hold up then rinse and repeat. Research it a lot before attempting anything more than minor changes.

The other SSD I have is WD Blue 3D NAND 2TB PC SSD - SATA III 6 Gb/s 2.5"/7mm Solid State Drive - WDS200T2B0A Is it a hardware issue? I'll try to do what you said.
