Hi farz_marz,

I would suggest you to go for Dark Rock 4, because it is lighter than the NH-D15.

For the durability, if you don't plan to move the chasis around and bumping the chasis too often then I believe you won't have problem.

So far there is no issue in blocking the PCIe slot for the graphic card as it has the same distance with the ATX motherboard.

Thank you

The motherboard is 3 year warranty with +1 year if i register it online?
Where is the RMA service centre?

Hi farz_marz,

Can you provide me the serial number for checking and for warranty claim you can send back to the place you bought it for the process.

Thank you

Havent received it yet. I just ordered the motherboard from linglong/dotatech. Just want to know some of the details.

Hi.

I've recently purchased ROG Strix B450-F Gaming. I wanted to install my M.2 on M.2_1 socket, but there's no M.2 standoff installed on the MB, and there's no standoff for it in the box (only standoff for MB. Tried putting it in in the M.2_1 screw hole, but couldn't fit. There is, however, 3 pieces M.2 standoff tightly installed on M.2_2 socket though. I tried to unscrew it but to no avail.

In the manual said: M.2_2 socket shares bandwidth with PCIE x16. When M.2_2 slot runs in PCIE mode, the PCIE x16_1 slot will run at x8 mode.

So yeah, now my GPU (ROG Strix RTX 2060 Super) is running at x8 mode because I put my M.2 on M.2_2.

Here's the pic of M.2_1 screw hole: https://i.imgur.com/zKebxX7.jpg

Am I missing something?


Thanks!

Hi kidrawk,

Can you provide me the serial number of the motherboard and where do you bought this motherboard?

Thank you

very curious how you put the ssd on the M.2_2 ? if u really don't have any standoff..
coz, u suppose to have 2 pair of standoff and screw in the box of motherboard..
If u had put one standoff on second slot, then simply remove it and put it on first slot.



simply googling, showing that your motherboard should come with 2 pair of standoff and screw in the box of motherboard.

pls be noticed, the height of slot 1 and slot 2 seems different , from the website above..

I've PMed you. Thanks.


The M.2_2 socket already has 3 standoff installed, but couldn't unscrew it. You can see it here from the link you gave : https://www.vortez.net/articles_pages/rog_s...g_review,5.html (pic #2, bottom screw).

And if you see this link : https://www.vortez.net/articles_pages/rog_s...g_review,4.html (pic #3 upclose), you can see that there's no M.2 standoff above the first PCIE slot, only the three in between 2nd and 3rd PCIE.

no, it is not.. those r screw holes for your standoff.. (ya, the second socket a bit higher than the first socket) ...
the first and second socket are different type, if u see carefully...
you should have 2 little plastics that contain screw and standoff. (as u see in the links above.)

I just shut down the PC, tried to screw from M.2_2 and took a closer pics.

The screw CAN'T fit.

Also, I think the holes might not even have thread.

See this: https://i.imgur.com/9oZJllO.jpg & https://i.imgur.com/gFD8jLj.jpg

the only question is ,if the box is seal or not, while u get the motherboard?
if not, maybe sb else lost it while they were taking out the mobo...

No, the box wasn't sealed. Did a little googling and motherboard boxes comes unsealed without any round stickers etc. Checked my box also there's no residue of stickers or anything. Maybe to let seller update bios beforehand?

Yeah got those plastic bags with bunch of screws but there's only 1 tiny screw for M.2 which I already put in M.2_2. There's also 1 standoff (which cannot fit in the M.2_1 holes) same size as the motherboard standoff and screw.

Hi kidrawk,

Can you take some picture of the stand off provided in the motherboard box?

I believe there is 2 stand off, both are different high, the lower stand off should be for the M.2_1, while the higher one are for M.2_2.

Thank you

Hi.

UPDATE: I went back to the shop asking about it, and they say they accidentally drop it when updating BIOS for AMD 3000 series. I got both the standoff and the screw now. Went back and tried to screw in the standoff, but still couldn't fit.

I think I know what's the problem.

There is no base to screw in the standoff.

See the socket for M.2_2 here:

The BLUE circle is the base. The RED circle is the standoff screwed on the base.

Now see the socket for M.2_1 here:

All three holes for the standoff doesn't have the base.


What should I do now?

Hi kidrawk,

The stand off is look like the image below and there is no base on the top of the motherboard, you can turn the motherboard around, the base is at the back.

Thank you


Attached thumbnail(s)

The screw hole on my 2nd pic and your 2nd pic looks totally different.

I guess there's no solution to this as I really can't screw in the standoff.
