[SOLVED] Can i install a Gen3 PCIe, M.2 2280 on my Asus Prime B450 A-Csm motherboard?

Hey guys, I want to get myself some blazing fast storage and know very little when it comes to compatibility. Can my motherboard work with the Gen3 PCIe, M.2 2280 in the only M.2 slot? If i understood the website, it says It can but i want to make sure. Will it work or affect anything?

Sure.

Sure.

Sure meaning yes it does? Will i get the fastest read and write speeds possible? Will it work with this for example? https://www.amazon.ca/Black-SN750-N...=1593963526&sprefix=nvme+,aps,144&sr=8-7&th=1

It does depend on the CPU you have. What CPU are you using?

I have a Ryzen 5 3600

With a 3600 CPU you should get full NVMe bandwidth. It will benchmark much higher, but your real world performance won't be significantly different from a SATA SSD for most things.
