Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi there,

I have a z490 aqua MB with Samsung 980 pro nvme boot drive which is PCIe 4.0 capable.  This MB is supposed to be PCIe 4.0 hardware ready with an upgrade to 11th gen cpu.

At least one of the three M.2 slots is supposed to be PCIe 4.0 capable with the cpu upgrade.  The web site says it is a "hyper M.2 slot with PCIe 4.0 hardware".  The problem is nowhere in the user guide does it explain which of the M.2 slots has this capability.  I can't find the information anywhere except on the product page promoting its capabilities.

Does anyone know which slot/s will be 4.0 ready?

Thanks so much!

David
