Normal
Further update - this bit bothered me quite a bit as I wanted another NVME in there, so have found a workaround:Bought this cheap £5 extension cable, which allowed me to 'route away' the M.2 adapter (exact link: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005443225566.html):The whole thing fits like this now - although it is pretty tight once the case is closed:Note that I'm also using an 8mm high heatsink on this NVME and have also taken the opportunity to upgrade the AMD Wraith cooler/fan to the Noctua.Getting a 2.5GBe switch next month, but until then, this is running very well at gigabit speed (as limited by my current switch).Side note: If you want to use a Crucial P3 NVME (in either of the slots), you need to install the P3.60S bios. The machine doesn't boot with official BIOSes that are on Asrock website - it remains stuck on black screen / acts dead. Took me a while to figure out that one!
