Question regarding this motherboard.

The GA-AX370-Gaming K7 (rev. 1.0) is my potential choice for my new Mobo. I plan to pair it with a Ryzen 7 1800x but I'm worried about it's comparability with the SSD i purchased.

This M.2 SSD is a Gen 3.0 x4 NVMe 1.2 and I purchased this piece for it's high speed compared to other SSD chips in it's class. Yet, when I review the AX370 motherboard, I don't see a specific slot for it like I do with other motherboards. Does this mean if I purchase this mobo, i'd be bottlenecking the SSD chip?

1 x M.2 connector (Socket 3, M key, type 2242/2260/2280/22110 SATA and PCIe x4*/x2 SSD support)
It's on the board

The 960 isn't on the support list.

The 960 isn't on the support list.

Woah hold on. So even though the socket is on the board, it's not actually on the support list? What does that mean?

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Well the support list is the tested storage options.

Well the support list is the tested storage options.

I see. I'll trust that the part will fit and work on the Mobo based on what you shown earlier. Thank you.
