Hi,
where can I install an M2 adapter on Fatal1ty Z97 Killer?
the adapter is M.2 NVME SSD to PCIe, JESWO, 3.0/4.0 x4

as I se on the mobo manual i have: 1 PCIe 3.0 x16, 1 PCIe 2.0 x16, 2 PCIe 2.0 x1, 2 PCI.

tell me i was dumb. either i install it in the 2nd slot for crossfire and my old video card will run worse or i keep it for the cooler and call it a day.

thanks
