Question Can my motherboard support NVMe?

[Mr_Man]

The latest BIOS update for my motherboard says it adds NVMe support. It has an M.2 slot, but the specifications for the motherboard don't mention NVMe. Does that mean the update allows me to use an NVMe SSD in that built-in slot, or only that if I were to use a PCIe-to-NVMe add-on card that I'd be able to boot to an NVMe drive plugged into that?
The motherboard is an ASRock 990FX Killer.

You can use M.2 NVME drive. It will function at PCIE 2.0 x2 mode.

1 x M.2_SSD (NGFF) Socket 3, supports M Key M.2 SATA3 6.0 Gb/s module and M.2 PCI Express module up to Gen2 x2 (10 Gb/s)

It will work.
But that M.2 port at Gen2 x2 is little better than a good SATA III drive.
You would probably see zero difference.

Thank you both!
