Question 1

Does anyone know if both M.2 slots support NVME drives? I have a B450M Pro and only one of the the two supports NVME drives, I had to get a PCIE adapter.

Accepted Answer

the second m.2 slot is SATA III only.  If you use that, the second set (SATA 2, SATA3) of SATA III connectors will not function.  SATA0 and SATA 1 will be fine however.  I purchased a WD Blue m.2 SATA 2TB and use that along with an intel 660P 1TB NVME drive.

Question 2

should be able to handle a ryzen 3000 series with a bios update yes?

Accepted Answer

Ryzen 3000 series is Socket AM4.  AMD has intentions to support this socket till 2020.  HOWEVER the motherboard manufacturer (ASRock in this case) is responsible for updating the UEFI BIOS to support it.

Question 3

can this motherboard support intel i7 930 cpu?

Accepted Answer

no, sorry, this is an AMD CPU motherboard socket AM4, you will need a  motherboard compatible with your cpu socket type

Question 5

Is this motherboard a good pair for the Ryzen 7 2700x?

Accepted Answer

I generally would match my products as a whole so they perform optimally together. Proper DDR4 to Ryzen and Motherboard. I suggest a higher end motherboard for a Ryzen 7. Whereas I suggest this motherboard for a Ryzen 5, which I am currently using it for. But this is my opinion. I have yet to share my own review with those that I know in regard time in using it. Some do a "review" which is more of a product introduction. I am not affiliated with "G" Nexus, "Paul", "Linus" or "Jay" who all have more than likely covered this in their content and/or forums.

Question 6

Noob question here! I want to use an M.2 NVME for my operating system and the other M.2 slot for a 1Tb storage drive.  The Asrock website states that the second slot supports M-key SATA III drives. However, all I see for sale is B & M Key drives in SATA III. Will these work in that slot?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the B&M key drives can work in either B-key or M-key slots.

I don't think you will find any M-key only drives given that most B-key slots will also support M-key devices.

Question 7

Does it come with screws for M.2?

Accepted Answer

Yes -- either in a bag or already installed on the motherboard. Normally in a little bag -- be careful, easy to not see the little bag in the box

Question 8

I just ordered this board. Will it support a graphic card 7" long?

Accepted Answer

Yes this card will handle a 7 inch card -- but your case has to be long enough as well
The slot is a standard 16x PCIE 3 slot

Question 9

One of the reviewers said this mobo had no Wi-Fi. How would I get around that problem?

Accepted Answer

No adays a USB Wi-Fi dongle is more than enough for basic internet/streaming.  If your want rock stability as close to a wired connection as possible look into a PCIE Wi-Fi card.

Question 10

does it have built in wifi?

Accepted Answer

No, it does not. Not that it matters much, as you can pick up a USB wifi adapter dirt cheap these days.
