Thanks, that's good info. I do have a x4 slot GT 710 so can keep the SSD's in the x16 slot. But bit disappointed only because, as you have shown, it's nice to have it all working as it should. If you do think it may be solvable I'm happy to try any ideas or read up on possible methods. If you think it's pretty much as good as it's going to get, I'll probably run without the GT 710 first as I've got the monitors behaving reasonably well and if that becomes a bother swap in the 710. Thanks again for another clear and informative set of instructions for a great build.
