MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX ATX motherboard M.2 Slot question
I am new to PC building and I'm looking to make my first PC at 14. I used PCPartPicker to gather my list of items and I get this message along with others? The motherboard M.2 slot #1 shares bandwidth with SATA 6.0 Gb/s ports. When the M.2 slot is populated, two SATA 6.0 Gb/s ports are disabled. Here is my…
NZXT H510 ATX Case - MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX ATX Motherboard error
I am looking to make my first PC, and I used PCPartPicker to gather my list of items I would want.

i5 10600k and asus H470m Plus or Z490?
Hey guys I wanted to ask why I should get the Z490 for my new i5 10600k.

12V Port Confusion (B450 Aorus Pro Wifi)
So I recently bought the board. Everything seems fine, except when I was connecting my 12v cable from my case(Corsair SPEC DELTA RGB). I looked at the cord and noticed it had for 4 plugins, while the board had 5 pins for that port? I couldn't find any attachment for both the case or motherboard respective boxes. I really…
