My specs as follow:
Intel i5 11400
Mobo: Gigabyte B560M Aorus Pro AX
Graphic card: Gigabyte GTX970
Storage: Samsung 980 1TB

The M2 is gen 3 while the mobo has both gen3 and gen4 slot, Should I put in in gen 3 or gen 4 slot? Or it won't matter?
Thanks in advance!

Samsung 980 1TB is a PCIe 3.0 Nvme drive. It doesn't matter if you put it in any of the two slots. The MOBO will automatically set the parameters to PCIe 3.0. So no worries. 😊
