ROG Maximus z690 Extreme, Install DIMM.2 card without NVMe?
Just about done with my build. Got a ROG Maximus z690 Extreme and would like all the slots up top to be filled for aesthetic purposes(all 4 RAM slots PLUS the DIMM.2 slot)
The NVMe SSDs I have are installed in the mobo under the heat sink. I don't have any extra NVMes to occupy the DIMM.2 card yet, but plan on adding some further down the road.
Would there be any issues with occupying the DIMM.2 slot with the board's included DIMM.2 card if there are no M.2s installed in the card?

You should be able to plug the Empty DIMM.2 card without occupying any of it's M.2 slots. I believe that as long as it's not populated, it won't be detected, but I'm not %100 sure. Either way you aren't risking anything by plugging it in.
