Hey,
Received my new build last Saturday. Installed Samsung Magician only to see that my M.2 970 EVO had 19.2TB written already on it whereas my secondary SSD had just a few GB as expected for just 12 hours worth of setup at my end. That is a hefty amount, even for a stress test.
Does anyone have any explanation why this might be? I feared I might have gotten an pre-used M.2 in my new system!
Alongside this, the 2 front USBs don't work so I suspect they have not been hooked up to the motherboard, but I can't seem to find the wires to do this. I thought this would have been checked during testing.
Finally, my AIO seems to have been fitted in a way that could degrade it quicker (tubes up top, not bottom) I get that in my case this might be difficult but I imagined that it would be fitted on the roof.
What can I do from my end that would not void my warranty or is it best to send back the system and have it fixed that way?
Aside from this, believe it or not, I'm super happy with the build. It's been a long time coming.
Any information on any of these I would be very grateful. Thanks
