Maybe, maybe not.I have i5 6400, msi b150m mobo. Is it possible to boot from an and use os from an NVME drive with an NVME to PCIE adapter card like this one.
There is no NVMe capable port on that.I am doing exactly that, with a 6600K.
No issues. I'm using an AsRock motherboard.
Don't know how it would work on your MSI, but my guess would be that if the board supports booting from NVMe in the NVMe port, it would support booting from the NVMe attached to an adapter.
Mainly 3d work and playing games. There are 2 x16 slots, the gpu is in one and the other one is freeMaybe, maybe not.
There is no 100% Yes or No.
What is this system used for?
In an older system like that, the "speed" of an NVMe drive is usually not seen.
There are 2 PCIe slots on that.
Do you have a GPU in the 3.0 x16 slot?
If so, that NVMe adapted can only go in the 3.0 x1 slot, seriously hampering any expected performance from a speedy NVMe drive.
Bottom line....don't bother.
I should mention, the motherboard has no m.2 connectorMaybe, maybe not.

Mine is the b150m night elf version. I know that regular sata ssds are fine, but if the nvme drive did work, it will be nice to get faster speedsIs this your motherboard?
Specification B150M BAZOOKA

Slots
• 1 x PCIe 3.0 x16 slot
• 2 x PCIe 3.0 x1 slots

In a game situation, unlikely you'd see any difference vs a regular SATA III SSD.
And your 3D work is almost entirely in the CPU/RAM. Storage has little or nothing to do with it.

You can add it as a secondary drive no problem, and use it for games or 3D work.
Just not as the OS drive.
Rather than hijacking this thread for a very different situation and parts, please start your own thread.I have a question about these adapters.
My only free M2 slot (on one of my mobos) is underneath a video card. It is notoriously hard to get out. In fact, I have already broken a piece off the latch. I would just rather leave the video card in at this point.
Could I buy an M2 and slot it into one of those Pcie adapters (and plug it into a free PCIE slot) and will I get the same speeds I would normally get (as if it was plugged directly into the m2 slot thing)?
