Hello, Peter here from Hamburg/ Germany.

Sorry, I don't speak/ write ther best english but I will try my best.

I've bought last week the pc above in my question.

I've red may be all posting about this model.

My plan is two ddr 5 with 8gb more…one SAMSUNG NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD 980 PRO Heatsink 1TB more on the free NVMe place on the mainboard.

First question is, can i get the full speed from the samsung on the second m.2 place or must i use the first and nearest m.2 port…???

The second question is about some new infos about what was written about the bois version in this case.

My version is from 05.01.2023 named R01-A1.

This version has no xmt field to aktivate xmt for higher ram speed.

On the Acer Support site is a newer bios version from 12.05.2023 but i has the same name, so may be there is nothing new and no need to update my bios.

So may be someone can give me the latest updates for my plans and bios setting.

The bios settings are really poor against the asus uefi bios setting i have on another pc.

thanks for all answers and have a good day…peter…!!!

    The yellow highlighted 8GB modules below is the RAM that we recommend adding to the OEM Acer fitted RAM 2x8GB DDR5-4800MHz types for your PO3-650 desktop:

    There is no support for modules with XMP profile in Acer BIOS, avoid UDIM modules with XMP profile like the black Crucial, Corsair Vengeance and Kingston Fury modules. No need to update your BIOS, ignore the newer date on the Acer Support site. The SAMSUNG NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD 980 PRO Heatsink 1TB will work OK:

    okay…many thanks for the very fast answer…so one more question,

    if the samsung 980 pro 1tb works for the board, the samsung 990 pro 1tb works too….???

    and what is with the speed of the plates…is the nearer port to the chip faster or both fast like the equal…??

    in port one is the original micro 512 m.2 plate. this one is not as fast as the samsung and i want the fastest for my windows boot.

    thank for your answer…peter…!!!

    Any NVMe Gen4 x4 SSD will work, the Samsung 990 cost the same as the 980 and is newer and slightly faster:
    read and write speed of Samsung 980 SSD: 7,000MB/s and over 5,000MB/s, respectively.
    read and write speed of Samsung 990 SSD: 7,450MB/s and over 6,900MB/s.

    Both M.2 slots have identical PCIe 4x4 speeds one slot also supports Sata SSDs, Both slots support PCIe Gen4x4 SSDs up to 2TB.

    Yes, both M.2 SSD slots are PCIe 4.0 on the PO3-650.
