Wife’s already moaned about:
1. the size of the thing “it’s bigger than I thought” (I’ve heard her say that before 31 years ago so she’ll manage to get over it like she normally does)
2. the RGB “it’s only October and it’s lit up like a Christmas Tree”. So I’m getting a rear RGB fan as well now 😂😂😂

It should have had one but appears to have been some miscommunication somewhere so have sent PCS a message.Yeah definitely needs a rear RGB fan
I’m sure it will be sorted soon.

Can you get it to play Christmas songs very quietly when it's in sleep mode?

Rear fan now fitted and linked to icue RGB hub. Couldn’t work out cables for the two radiator fans RGB to move them to icue hub as too tightly tidied up in there lol. So will have to control those two fans and the RGB on the cooler pump through the motherboard software Armoury Crate.

Damn it...I just couldnt resist.
When the wife said she wanted another large mouse mat like the one I already had I went into the upgrade options to order one...
and accidentally clicked on 2 x 16GB Corsair VENGEANCE RGB DDR5 6000MHz to take my system up to:
64GB Corsair VENGEANCE RGB DDR5 6000MHz (4 x 16)
Ooops.....LOL
"Wifey... here's that that mouse mat you wanted - and it cost £100...."

She'd expect it to be solid gold....
I'm just looking forward to more Rainbow Waterfall RGB effects inside on the RAM sticks
...RGB is like a drug....All the wife says is "why's it got a glass side...."
I just say "it's so I can see the little fishies swimming around...."

You have to waterproof it and actually put fishies insideShe'd expect it to be solid gold....

OK, having had the PC for a couple of weeks, I was rethinking some of my storage options and as the machine is currently homesick and has returned back home for a short stay (hopefully), I am considering adding a little more storage LOL.
Current specs:
There is an additional fan in there too for rear exhaust: (1 x Corsair AF120 RGB ELITE PWM Fan - WHITE)
Is it possible to add:
3rd M.2 SSD Drive
2TB SOLIDIGM P41+ GEN 4 M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD (up to 4125MB/sR, 3325MB/sW)
4th M.2 SSD Drive
2TB SOLIDIGM P41+ GEN 4 M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD (up to 4125MB/sR, 3325MB/sW)
The reason why I ask is that when I read the specification for the motherboard on the PCS page it implies I can only have 3 x M2 drives:
but the actual configurator does let me proceed (as tested with a new order - obviously not completed order) - with all 4 selected - ie 2 x P44s and 2 x P41s?
Advice welcome please.
Thank you.
PS - reason for considering adding is that I have £100 credit due to my PCS account for a returned item and happy to add the other £100 to get the extra as you can never say no to extra storage LOL

It only shows 3 x M2 slots on the board layout page labelled as 6s
In the motherboard manual it does state up to 4 drives, 3 being on the chipset, but then refers you to this page which is for the (very) new GPUs that have additional M2 slots on the rear
But then in the bifurcation table at the bottom, I'm mightily confused to the point where I'm not sure I can remember my name
