Hi @TemperedTech  I can confirm, M2 SATA only. I own an eraser p6689 and asked exactly same thing some time ago. Although the M2 socket can hold either SATA or NVMe it will only works with SATA. The concept "if it fits will work" does not apply here. https://community.medion.com/t5/ERAZER-Gaming/MEDION-ERAZER-P6689-support-NVme/m-p/102195#M789   Cheers ... Afficher plus

Hi @L3Ph03n1x , welcome to the forum   Depending of production's date your video card might have LHR.  More info: " NVIDIA’s LHR Fight Hoping to put more cards in the hands of gamers rather than cryptocurrency miners, NVIDIA announced its LHR program in mid-May of 2021. This program means that newly manufactured RTX 3080, RTX 3070, and RTX 3060 Ti graphics cards can detect when they’re being used for Ethereum cryptocurrency mining. When that happens, the cards deliberately reduce their speed (hash rate) for solving Ethereum-related math problems by about 50%. Since these RTX cards originally launched without a reduced hash rate, the newer LHR models will be labeled as such on the box and in product listings."   Read this to see how can you find out if your CPU is locked or not :https://cryptoage.com/en/2576-methods-for-detecting-nvidia-geforce-rtx-30-video-cards-with-lhr-mining-limiter.html   Cheers ...

The 2 connectors for additional fans on MB are responding to power/heat management and not best option if you are looking for good airflow. For example, the adjustment of fan's RPM can be related to CPU temperature (ONLY) and completely ignore the temperature of additional video card (which looks like the problem in the first place). Bios is related to the motherboard and even if feels old it does it's job as intended. Update it will not improve your hardware but most likely will unlock some options (if any available) which were hid in the first place for different reasons (security and/or stability). Overall, it doesn't help to better cooling.   Covering/exposing air grid and adding fans it's all about the best airflow and all depends on existing hardware and the case type. Hence the specialist recommendation. Depending on how is the airflow around the video card you can have a inward front or bottom fan installed (with dust filter) and maybe compensate with a fan like this https://cdn.ready-market.com/106/2a07ce3d//Templates/pic/TTC-004_01.jpg?v=d8ad8fe3 under the video card (positioning will make the difference between useless and efficient). Depending the CPU heat sink additional fans can be installed on top back or up top of the case. Again, all have to be done in order to create a proper airflow  so the components which are generating heat (chipset, RAM, HDD) to be cooled properly without moving the hot air over the other components. On same note an airflow which can't reach the hot components it's as dangerous as having none. Still recommend and specialist for this job. ... Afficher plus
