Pulled the trigger. Excite!
Had to spend an hour figuring out what was going on with all the different varieties of M.2 drives, confusing as fuck. Originally had a Samsung 850 in the basket but discovered that was sata rather than pci-e so wouldn't be any quicker than a regular SSD. Then there's the 951 series which have weird throttling issues but aren't supported by Samsung because they were only intended to be OEM parts (so why are retailers selling them?) Finally settled on a 950 PRO which was almost double the price of the 951 but should (hopefully) work without issues, once I've fiddled with the BIOS to make it bootable.
Figured spending £3.58 on the standard intel heatsink and cooler made a lot of sense so I can make sure it's working ok before plumbing in all the ridiculous water cooling.
Weekend should be all sorts of fun :)
