I've been playing around a bit more since my last post including adding a second m.2 SSD for PI swap files.

Thought I'd share some benchmark data from Samsung Magician:

1. SATA SSD (Samsung Evo 860)
2. 2x NVMe SSDs (Samsung Evo 870 plus)
3. SATA HDD (WD Caviar Blue)
4. PI benchmark results with 1 NVMe swap disk (Swap transfer rate 3555.082 MiB/s)
5. PI benchmark results with 2 NVMe swap disks (Swap transfer rate 4637.986 MiB/s)

So about 25% improvement in swap performance with the extra NVMe drive.

I also changed the stock Ryzen Wraith Prism cooler out for a Noctua NH-U12A. While I don't have any benchark data the CPU peak temperature has dropped from 72 degC to 64 degC which is what I was hoping for.
