I suggest go for 512gb 950 pro m.2 pcie. Dont buy 256gb. Few games installed and thats it full. for me i 512gb m.2 pcie for c drive and apps. And a 512gb sata ssd like evo for movies and data on secondary drive. Put in together i7 6600k and a 32gb ram ddr4 with a gtx1080 8gb. Its just perfect will last you at least 5 years, you have enough vitamin c hehe

It's cooler master 212x, the fan is great, 7x cfm, it keeps my cpu cool and around 60C on full load. and when idle it's around 38C to 42C depends on room ambient temp.

Yea, just wondering when the SM961 will be release. Lets keep an eye on the release. actually sata SSD is also doing well here, bootup time and loading is just a quick. Not sure can get significant gain or not after switching to nvme ssd.

No need add fan, no difference. Im using the original fan. It seems that the original fan is high grade fan.

Wait when you say 5 secs is from the moment you press the power button on the case till you see your working desktop?

I have the same issue on my new pc. More than 10s from the point i press the power button till my desktop windows is ready. I read about it on internet, the culprit is your mobo taking too long to initialize whatever it has to. There is a settings in bios under ram config, you van turn it to enable and now the time taken is about 5 secs

Bootup not noticeable between m.2 and sata ssds. Maybe during extensive transfer file or big program loading or rendering yea. Playing games, web browsing and watching movies both are same fast.
