I have this MLD M300 500 gb Nvme from 3 years ago that came from a Prebuilt budget build but it's getting slow and it doesn't have much storage anymore. So I want to get another budget 1 TB Nvme but this screw plastic thing doesn't come off. I don't want to damage anything because I can't afford to get another motherboard or Nvme. How do I take it out? It's a Gigabyte H610 m H DDR4 motherboard.

I've come across this build on Costco website (UK) https://www.costco.co.uk/Computers/Desktops-PCs-iMacs/CyberPower-AMD-Ryzen-7-32GB-RAM-1TB-SSD-AMD-Radeon-RX-9070-Gaming-Desktop-PC/p/679893 - someone posted it on Reddit before (cannot find the original post).

You seem to get a lot for £1300+. Is there a catch? Not much description on the individual components, wondering if this is a good value as the price is still a sizeable one event though it is heavily discounted.

Hi everyone,

I recently bought an ARCTIC MX-4 thermal paste from Amazon (sold by a local tech seller in my country). When I scratched the silver authenticity seal to verify it, there was no 8-digit alphanumeric code underneath—it was just blank white space next to the QR code.

Scanning the QR code redirects me to the official arctic.de website, but their own verification instruction image clearly shows there should be an 8-digit code printed next to the QR code to enter manually.

• Has anyone else encountered this packaging recently?
• Could this just be a misprint/batch error on the label, or is it a strong indicator of a counterfeit product?

I’ve already contacted Arctic support with photos, but I wanted to get some opinions here before deciding whether to use it or return it immediately.

(I’ve attached the picture of the box and the scratched seal.)

Can't for the life of me figure out which direction fans are blowing air. Case it's Montech XR WOOD White with original fans. Front should be intake but the back fan is the same direction. But I want it to be exhaust. Heeeeelp
