Crucial T705 Limited Edition - how to install, setup and test

[@dragonbike471]

My as rock x870 steel motherboard has some pads and metal underneath the ssd and it's hard to install this exact ssd. Not sure if I should remove the pad because it's in the way tbh. Feels like I will break the port if I try to secure it on there

[@daniel-rodrigo]

same problem here. I remove the pad and release the screw - the screw is now "loose" - the SSD seems ok, fitted in the slot - but with the screw loose, it seems that any movement can loosen everything.

Hello, I know that the thing is a unrelated to Crucial SSD but i thought I could reach you the fastest in here - so I was gonna ask you about my idea (which I'm quite unsure about) I would like to get Thermaltake TH420 V2 Ultra ARGB and replace it's fans with LianLi Inf. 140mm fans, but they are slower than a default fans - should I do it or is it a bad idea? (I'm probably stuck to this AIO because I need white AIO and there aren't many 420mm AIO available..) Soo what do you think about this?

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

In my experience it's ok to do and the negative impact isn't massive. But there will be some.

I did everything in the video and still reads at 7k mb/s is there any other solutions I can try?

Do you have a slot that supports gen 5? kzbin.info/www/bejne/noq8qpqcapxohJI

🔥 Thank you TPP.

Can I remove this heatsink wothout voiding the warranty?

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Why would you want to? I don't know the answer but it's a good heatsink and needed for good cooling

[@RegenTonnenEnte]

@TheProvokedPrawn because the heatsink would be black in a white build... and the t705 without any heatsink is 50 € more.

[@jonny5352]

Hi would the stock heat sink on my ASUS ROG Strix B650E-I be enough to cool the drive? My Noctua NH-U12A looks like it will clash with the height of the heat sink that crucial are providing, im cramming it all into a cooler master NR200 Many thanks.

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

It should work

[@jonny5352]

@@TheProvokedPrawn Cheers!

[@jonny5352]

If you have a q latch motherboard it wont secure a drive with a heat sink like the t705 because the whole assembly is too chunky, in fact PP could you test this on some q latch boards if you have them? Mines the B650E-I as ive mentioned here before, it'd be handy for myself and others to know if the heat sink version wont work with a q latch, many thanks.

wrong

[@jonny5352]

@@JoeMama-yl1ow It was a problem on my Asus B650 E-I, luckily I was able to put a screw in the q latch post to fasten everything down, what mobo do you have?

[@daniel-rodrigo]

same problem here. I have a Z890 Aorus Master Extreme with the q latch - and I need to "loose" a little bit to plug the ssd.

[@Tenshi-ly3bu]

how many crucial t705 and any Gen5 NVMe M.2 SSD can be installed on asus rog strix X670E-E Gaming motherboard or only one can be installed on top

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Your motherboard specs suggests slots 1,2 and 3 support gen 5 drives. Which is surprising.

Just installed 4 of these bifurcated to 4x each. I got an incredible 55 gigabytes per second seq read. And unbelievable 18 gigabyte persecond random write. The rand4k was 2.1 gbps. Im getting close to 8 million iops from 4 consumer drives lol Lets see how long these last lmao

Prawn bro, Whats the best speaker system? I'm a reluctant Razer head but you're the expert. Your help would be appreciated!

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

I definitely wouldn't call me an expert on speakers. But I liked this kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4vcnmxpi9mBZq8

[@richs.820]

Can you remove the heatsink for other applications? Thanks

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Why not just buy the one without the heatsink

[@richs.820]

@@TheProvokedPrawn Well I need to be able to move the drive to various computers and locations so I can use it with and without the heatsink if necessary.

[@Platinumdose420]

??? it comes with the drive and nothing else? did you completely miss the heatsink you picked the drive up by?! thats pretty important? no?

[@Platinumdose420]

man i sure remember SSD screws..... back in the day.. XD

[@TerminalzPain]

Wonder how to test drive speeds/check the current Gen settings in Linux, challenge accepted! :P

[@Surfinbird8916]

Is this drive tied to the cpu?

[@Nixohc]

Im getting 2 of the regular black 4tb T705. Would do you think would be better the T705 heatsink or would motherboard be enough? Motherboard is Asus ROG STRIX X670E-E

[@joshdelicata]

If the motherboard has got thermal pads on and good heat distribution then it should be fine. Unless you are putting it under really high loads but the motherboard will be okay. Depending if it has a heat sink on the motherboard

[@Nixohc]

@@joshdelicata it does have a heatsink and thermal pads. Its a pretty long surface area to

[@joshdelicata]

@@Nixohc it should be fine then i used the motherboard heat sink

[@98f5]

The heat sink is really annoying and very difficcult to remove

[@RalfenGaming]

But Can you remove the heat sink? I have a rog crosshair 870e hero and i NEED to remove the heat sink…

[@98f5]

@RalfenGaming yes i was able to remove many of them to run them in servers but make sure you have some heat sink still because they get really really hot and will thermal throttle but will even burn themselves out without any heat sink.

[@RalfenGaming]

@ I have a rog crosshair 870E hero and heat sink is too big! Thats why i need to remove it. Thanks for the answer mi friend im going crazy because this ssd was expensive and I need to remove the heat sink so it can fit in the motherboard

[@RalfenGaming]

@ mine arrived 4 days ago, and it was not that hard actually

[@98f5]

@RalfenGaming thats good. I had one of them pull chips off the board when i removed mine but all the others went smooth. I dont understand why they dont sell them with no heatsink or if they do I've yet to see them.
