As long as the M.2 slot on that board is PCI-e 3.0 x4 you should be good. Pretty sure it is since my MSI motherboard works fine with my similar Samsung SM951 M.2 SSD.

Got the replacement for the H110i GTX that I RMA'd last week and installed it, rocking a pretty sweet 64 degrees celsius maximum core temperature in Intel Processor Diagnostic Tool on my i7-4790k! A definite improvement over the 75-80+ I got using my Hyper 212 EVO air-cooler, no doubt about that

I have an 8 gig stick of RAM in my computer. Can I put a 4 gig stick in to make it 12 gigs?


The RAM I'd get is nearly identical, it's just one is 8 gigs and the other is 4.

you can always change the fan colors
if size is an issue then yeah the water stuff is fine

Depends on your motherboard.
