Well done as always brother.

Thank you both. Excellent product. Crucial always produces good product. It's awesome to see them bringing something cutting edge and appealing to performance PC enthusiasts to market.

Sounds like an absolutely amazing SSD from Crucial on this one.  Way to go Crucial, and amazing job @Mr. Fox covering the product!

That is the one thing Crucial does well is storage. I probably have at least 15 MX500 SSD's in the dungeon.

Oh absolutely!  Personally, I have probably at least that many BX500's myself.  I have like 15 or 16 machines, and most of them have 2.5" SSD's in them.  Every 2.5" SSD in the house is a BX500 lol.  I have every size available from the 120GB ones to the 2TB ones, multiples of each.  

These Gen5 drives, I personally probably won't bother with until AM5's refresh.  But its very nice seeing these kind of blazing speeds available today.

Yep, been my go to since my 128GB M4. Crucial SSD's are always my default choice for other people I occasionally upgrade storage for or whatever as well.

 

Agree, top notch review as always with excellent formatting for pictures, tables, etc.

My first Crucial SSD was also an M4. Put this in my 2011 Macbook Pro that I had in college along with doubling the RAM capacity beyond what was "officially" supported  I would probably still have it if I hadn't given it to a friend that was building on a tight budget about 5years later. 

 

Also agree, great job on the review. I still don't think most normal people should bother with gen5 yet, but on an HEDT platform with more lanes to pay with these would be sick for a blazing fast editing setup.

Thanks, bros.

 

Now I am on the hunt for a decent 13900K/KF/KS. My 13900K in the Z690 Dark stopped working for unknown reasons. System runs normally with my Celeron test CPU, but the 13900K just endlessly cycles through POST codes when I power on the system. No idea why. I am assuming a power surge or ESD spike or something  similar zapped it. 

 

Waiting for @Agent-A01 at oc.net to reply if his is still available. Using a Celeron sucks real bad.

Oh man, rip.

 

I acquired a Z790 Dark a couple weeks back, but I'm doing quite the mismatch as well with a 13100 . I was saving the big bucks for the 14900k.

The guy still hasn't responded for like 12 hours, so if I don't hear from him within the next hour or two I may decide to save $150 and get a 13700K from Best Buy to tide me over until 14900K drops. Congrats on the Dark mobo. The best for sure. My Z690 Dark is much better product than my Z790 Apex. ASUS stuff is just chintzy overpriced junk.

Thank you! My first EVGA board, and is going to be the foundation of my future test bench. 

 

I've been pretty happy with my ASUS boards over the years, but I totally get it. About the only thing I saw on the Apex that looked interesting was that DIMM.2 slot. Wish my X570 Dark Hero has that as one of my only complaints is a mere two m.2 slots on it.

 

Why I may need to look at that Sabrent adapter card you recently reviewed.

Another great review @Mr. Fox

 

That thing is a screamer for sure.

 

Even by cutting the GPU slot down to X8 that shouldn't bottle neck the GPU would it?

Thank you. I am pleased that you enjoyed the review, or found it useful.

 

In normal use, and probably most gaming scenarios, the reduction in GPU performance would not be impactful. It was definitely measurable though, and would have a negative influence on benchmark scores. I care most about that since it is my main hobby, so running them at Gen5 speed at the sacrifice of GPU benchmark scores is something I am avoiding.
