Patriot Viper VP4100 does fit the almost top mobo with M.2 slot?!

[Kivlov]

Tried to install Patriot Viper VP4100 M.2-drive to Asus ROG Strix Maximus X Code, but it does not fit. What's the problem? Does it require some "special" M.2 slot or mobo? But there's no word or even clue about this.

Use Free Build, and try. Most likely, it will say that the M.2 has a heatsink, and the motherboard can't fit an M.2 drive with a heatsink.

If you want to know which M.2 drives have heatsinks, and which motherboards have M.2 heatsink slots, all of that information is now on the latest version of my "Parts & Unlock Levels" guide, in the guides area.

Hopefully the devs consider eventually exposing this information more easily, in the descriptions of the M.2 devices and the descriptions of the motherboards.

How do I access upgrades and the guide? I've played many hours of the game and haven't figured that out yet.
