Does my motherboard have gen 3 or 2 pcie x16?

[andretoniste]

Motherboard: DH61HO
So Intel's page for the motherboard says it's gen 2 site: https://ark.intel.com/products/66983/Intel-Desktop-Board-DH61HO
But the manual I downloaded from Intel's site says it's gen 3.
I haven't found a program that says which gen is it, I have tried Speccy and CPU z. Or can you tell by looking at the slot on the motherboard?
I am really confused which gen is it.
Thanks in advance!

Depends on the CPU, Sandy bridge is 2.0, Ivy bridge is 3.0

The H61 chipset uses PCI Express 2.0.

April 2012 B75 Chipset appears to be earliest PCIe 3.0 ×16 along with other Series 7 Ivy Bridge Chipsets. For PCIe 3.0 capability, the Ivy Bridge CPU must have the relevant PCIe 3.0 controller built in. However, some Ivy Bridge CPUs only have a PCIe 2.0 controller built in.

H61 Chipset does not feature anything other than PCIe 2.0 ×16 as the Main PCIe configuration.
