totally confused here... I have been using an ASRock 970 Extreme3 R2.0 Socket AM3+ motherboard for the last 4 years, but on closer inspection today I discovered that it has an m.2 socket onboard, I also noticed that there were 2 black stickers on the mobo, when I peeled these back I discovered that the board is in fact a "Fatal1ty 990FX Killer", does this actually mean that I can fit a m.2 SSD to this board and it will be detected and work as it should??, or would it not show up in the BIOS screen, would this also mean that I would have to reflash with a "Fatal1ty 990FX Killer" BIOS , which in theory could brick the board and or possibly not support the AMD FX 9370 4.4GHz Socket AM3+ 8MB L3 Cache Processor......I am at odds here....
