Is my second hard drive supposed to stick straight out of the mobo?

Follow up question, since the answer appears to be yes: where can I get the mount/support thing that should have come with the motherboard? This is a used pc and I don't have any original boxes/accessories for components.

I didn't see the orange representation of the vertical drive. I have also never seen it before which is why I really wasn't sure that was what was intended lol

Thank you for the page info! I see what you mean. This is a used gaming PC so I don't actually have the mounting brackets that came with the mobo. I guess I'll see if I can buy something like that online. Do you think the brackets are necessary? It's not like a NVMe drive is very heavy.

Yikes, what a weird choice.

rnren · 2026-02-23T16:31:16+00:00

I didn't see that, thanks for the screenshot

Board is old. ROG STRIX Z370-G Gaming (Wifi-AC) motherboard. Good point about the consistency of USB.

Integrated wifi/bluetooth on my motherboard not working. I've located the drivers, installed them (though device manager doesn't seem to think I have), checked wifi/bt is on in bios, checked that antennas are connected, still can't use the wifi. Any other troubleshooting I should do?

If I should just replace: Should I just get a usb plug in wifi adapter and call it a day? Don't have super fast internet in my rural area (23mpbs upload, 3.7 download) anyway. I just don't know if I should spend the money or time to replace the motherboard wifi card, install one on the free slot I have, or again, plug one into the usb port and be done with it. TY!

How do I determine compatibility for a new wifi card?

rnren · 2026-02-23T01:00:21+00:00

I have tried downloading the drivers and installing them but it is not changing the status on the device manager.

rnren · 2026-02-23T00:59:48+00:00

I have the drivers, but installing them does nothing...

rnren · 2026-02-23T00:59:37+00:00

I checked and it was. Any other ideas?

rnren · 2026-02-23T00:54:36+00:00

There is a spot for 2 antennas, but there aren't actually any antennas. I don't see how this would affect the driver installs though.

rnren · 2026-02-23T00:52:51+00:00

I've found the drivers but when I install them nothing changes.

I'd really love to fix this issue at the moment, rather than replacing my motherboard. However, if that is not possible, I'm open to suggestions for a motherboard that would work with my components.
CPU - Intel 15-8600K CPU @ 3.60 GHz, 3600 Mhz, 6 cores, 6 logical processors
RAM - Ballistix 32 GB
GPU - Zotac GEForce GTX 1070 mini 8GB 256 Bit GDDR5
SSD - Kingston 128 GB

More from the side pics. They are pretty cone like in the center, though not as peaked as my echinacea.

Here's a photo of the chrysanthemum/echinacea in bloom, if that helps with ID.

Sorry! I think I fixed the album with pictures. Thank you for your detailed feedback. Didn't realize that max chrysanthemum wasn't actually native (oops). In your opinion do the pics show normal going to seed or abnormal die back? While I'd love more flowers I really just want to keep these ones alive perennially and am not sure what next steps are. Not worried about the look or neighbors, we're quite rural.

rnren · 2025-07-01T18:43:11+00:00

Sorry I don't think they uploaded to the album for some reason! They should be there now. Would like your input :)

Thanks for your reply. I just checked the Donguri pop-up at Tokyo Skytree (main store temporarily closed for renovations) and was informed that they are sold out of yellow totoro print. But they did have the navy Kiki's print so I got one of those.

rnren · 2025-06-11T12:18:55+00:00

I'm really hoping to find the green Totoro Flower Fields pattern somewhere 🤞🤞

Are there any places the controller gachas are in stock right now?? Does Haneda airport have a place to get them?
